Description Colored pencils. 16"x20".

A 'Holloweenish' scene. The spirits are part biomorphic and part jellyfish. Weird, translucent and luminous deep sea creatures like jellyfish have a very ghost-like appearance.
Much of the landscape is made up of old and somewhat eerie looking images from places like Ireland and Brittany.

The atmosphere of this painting would work well for the holiday of Halloween.

Thank you. Halloween is my second favorite holiday next to Christmas- mainly because of the weather and childhood memories.

Wow! I thought this was a painting. Prismacolor colored pencils are the best.

Thank you. Prismacolors are by far the best colored pencils that I know of. They're softer so they blend better and have rich color.

wow! what kind of color pencils did you use?

Tolkyes In reply to clarapnaraujo [2012-06-02 21:01:52 +0000 UTC]

Prismacolor. In my opinion they are the only colored pencils to use. They are softer so they blend better and the colors are more vibrant.

You're welcome! I use Prismas, too, but I'm still learning how to use them.

Thanks for your nice comments.
I'm removing the watermark from this image. It's not really necessary at this stage.
Also,the image has about an inch cropped off on the left side and bottom and about a half inchcropped off on the top and right side.
