Is it Moby? 
  | 
| Here he is! Is it moby?  | 
When I look at this painting, I think to myself, this looks like the whale that stoved the whale, that then stoved the boat.  I liked the idea of having a lot of action in the painting but focusing the main picture on one giant whale! That is what the tail and the head and the spout are all about...ACTION! 
  | 
| I love his spout!  It looks like a heart!  | 
The frame is nice and old, I would date it  to 1875, correct me if I am wrong, please.   I like to learn.   The glass is bubbly and distorted.  There is a small  chip that was in the glass, making it less than perfect.  
  | 
| See the chip?  To me, it makes it authentic.  I don't mind it!  | 
I always like to include my featured piece beside some of my other work so that you can see how it blends.   
There she is, sitting proudly on a sailboat.  You can see, all the colors go greatly together.  These paintings have been all completed at different times over the last 5-7 years, the lighthouse maybe even older.  
  | 
| I love nautical and the distressed frame!  | 
Some of the things that stand out to me are the water and the heart-shaped spout.  I also like the little slash marks that are ever so slightly painted on the whale.  Can you see them? 
  | 
| I included the remote so that you can have a feel for the scale.  This painting is like 6X11" | 
  | 
| I love how the colors look beside my antique set of painted drawers.   | 
It's alway fun working on projects like this.  I hope you enjoyed reading about my thoughts on this piece, "Is it Moby?" 
Enjoy!
