Its difficult to resist when suddenly moods come and waves of creativity exploding in my mind. This artwork is probably my most satisfying artwork in 2019 and I titled it as “Christmas in the Discovery Era”.
Spent 40 years to conceive, 4 hours to create and just 4 seconds to take the photo.
Maybe I exaggerated it, but its just a way to show you how happy I am with this artwork.
The idea is pretty simple, combining the image of Santa Claus with a caravel as an icon of the Discovery Era.
Imagine we have a time machine and taking Santa Claus to the Discovery Era, what gifts will he give to the navigators whom are taking risk to explore the new world?
Hope you like this and I am planning to make it as an art print, so you can take part of my creativity home.
The tools I used were simple, 200GSM watercolor and a pan set of 18 colours by Kuretake Gansai Tambi Japanese Watercolour.
