Heee heee....I see your point. About the only reason I haven't scrapped it is, it's a bloody huge canvas...my intent is to maybe paint over it someday (it's most likely future). Also though, there are some magical aspects to it: One of the figures, for instance, is falling out of the boat, head first on his back....if you look at him with the canvas upright, he looks alive, but if you flip the canvas 180 degrees, he looks dead...everyone I show the canvas to and demostrate that aspect get goose bumps...spooky!

Re: "Abandon ship!" by Jonas Dahlberg

It pretty much is, except I have a rather large wave from the surfacing whale that looks kinda fake...not natural...initially, I was too lazy to scrape/sand it out and adjust, and then things went sour from there.
