Description
Following in the same vein as the Bovine Skull I created ages ago, here's the Nile Crocodile.This piece was created in watercolor, acrylic, and pencil. The Nile Crocodile’s skull is patterned in Ancient Egyptian patterns and colors.
Green: vegetation and life.
Red: life, victory, anger, fire, rage, sun, protection.
White: omnipotence, purity, sacred things, and used for holy ceremonies.
Black: death, might, the underworld, and resurrection.
Yellow: sun, gold, imperishable, eternal, and indestructible.
Egyptian blue: sky, water, heavens, primeval floods, life, birth, the Nile, crops, and fertility.

Someone else who respects history and enjoys making art from it. I love the colour reference and the realism in the picture suffused with warm gentle colours and lots of texture. Its very pretty even though its a skull.
Super use of mixed media products, .pve the circles surrounded by colour.

The lines of the skull remind me of Georgia O'keefe. Overall I love the playfulness of this piece.

Thanks, Debbie! I always wish I had more time to make art like this. Seriously, it was sitting unfinished in my house for months. It was a bit sad.

Oh wow! I've never seen artwork like this before, it's cool to find something with its own true identity every once in a while.
