Artist Reply: You know what? After coming back to this image I'm not too sure it deserves to be in my portfolio. I actually thinnk that frame looks a bit rough. I could do better now, but I shall leave it here as a testament/reminder to my ongoing daily education. Glad you like it though Kukua.

Great detail in this work, I know how fun scratcgboard is... I like the circles coming off the moon and going into the water.

Sorry to confuse you again, Anon. Read the explaination again. It was for a magazine article. Let it lie.

i have not understood this, why have a goat painting a boat this confuses me

Stu Smith
Artist Reply: I used a goat at the last minute to paint the boat because the gerbil model I had booked got lost on the way to my studio as his hot air balloon got a puncture from a meandering skyshark. Hope that clears things up for you.
