Poe quoth the raven: the gold bug
This is a painting I made for my son's room, he was a big pirate fan and wanted a pirate room, so I painted him a treasure map and a Jolly Roger. He loved it, but little boys grow up and the pirate stuff had to be removed from his room, and now I got the treasure map in my craftroom, because I didn't want to put it in the trash. And then there was the challenge on Poe quoth the Raven: the gold bug, I really wanted to play but didn't have much time to make a new project. So I guess I cheated a bit and took the treasure map painting(which I never shared before on my blog) and added a gold bug.
Here it is;
sorry for the bad pics, This is a 40 x 30 cm canvas and it was all drawn by me, I used a black fineliner for the drawing and colourd the tears around the edges with a black marker, then it was coloured (all kinds off browns) with paint. the only stamps are the red X and the bug.
