Meet Seamus.
For the longest time, he sat in the “limbo land” corner of my studio—one of those pieces I couldn’t quite let go of but also couldn’t quite finish. There was something missing, though I couldn’t put my finger on it. So, he waited… longer than I’d like to admit.
Recently, he caught my eye again, and I decided to give him another chance. This time, I played with contrast—using Golden Paint’s SoFlat Matte for the background while keeping him glossy and vibrant. I also pushed the color combinations, choosing a bold teal to complement his bright orange beak and spindly legs.
Now, Seamus finally feels complete, and I’m so glad I didn’t give up on him. That pop of teal gives him a true seaworthy feel, don’t you think?
Would love to hear what you think of him!
