Description
A Project Educate painting. All mediums contest; Generate your own prompt.
My prompts was...Take something we generally find to be ugly and turn it into something beautiful.
I took two approaches to this piece...I wanted to show weapons of war, becoming a coral reef. Life coming from weapons of death. Also I took an old piece of rusted metal to paint on. I did have to do some research as to how to best prep the metal and paint on it. Painted with oil paints. I really stepped out of my comfort zone with this project. It was fun to do, I learned a lot working on it. Ahh this is the picture I wanted to up load. Sorry

This is absolutely beautiful and the fact that you painted it on a rusted piece of metal makes it even cooler.
The phrase "I love the colours here" is probably a painful cliche to hear at this point, but I'm a very colours oriented person, so I really do love all the shine here 
I love what I assume is the unpainted edge of the metal there at the top? It looks like some kind of frame, or maybe even part of the reef

I did leave the edge of the metal unpainted. I really like how that looked.
I am glad the colors worked well. I am really enjoying the oil paints.
