Cluros Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I thought I would share these. My friend and regular collecting partner has an extensive fossil collection and I wanted to do something nice for him and his wife. Because he owns two ichthyosaurs skeletons and his wife is an ammonite fan I painted these two paintings for them. The ichthyosaur was based off of one of his specimens while the ammonite came from my own collection. I've painted wildlife before but hadn't painted in about five years.

Cluros Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Good eye Auspex. They are both acrylic on board. It is way easier to give art as a gift when your friend has a fossil collection you would die for. I can't think of any fossil that I could give him.

Koss1959 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Wow I love the Ichthyosaur! I love in Lyme Regis so ichthyosaurs and Plesiosaurs always remind me of home. Nice painting.
