I painted this piece today to experiment with gouache on Arches paper, a rougher surface than I'd normally use. I applied a wash of watercolour first to see if that would reduce the paper's absorbency. As for the imagery; well, it just turned out like that. It's a present for my friend Marcus.13cm x 18cm.

The occupant, or driver, doesn't look like he's feeling too well. I imagine this vehicle to be amphibious, with a rudimentary fin for stabilization in water, and a rudder for steering. Perhaps the hanging sack contains chum for attracting sharks, which could be how he got into such sad shape.
