#76 OMG, A Leviathan! 24x36 stretched canvas

This painting features a dramatic scene of a leviathan emerging from the ocean under the light of the moon. The creature has a large, sinuous body painted in a green hue with yellow underbelly scales. Its fierce, intelligent eyes and pointed horns give it a commanding and intimidating presence. The dragon is further accentuated by a mane of purple spines or fins along its back, which adds to its otherworldly and mystical appearance.

In the foreground, there is a small ship with sails navigating the turbulent waters, while the owner of the ship is laying down- hiding from the massive leviathan. The waves appear chaotic, reflecting the danger the ship faces. The contrast between the ship's fragile existence and the dragon’s formidable presence heightens the tension of the scene.

Above, the sky is dark with purple-tinted clouds, illuminated by the soft glow of a full moon, which adds to the eerie atmosphere of the painting. The overall mood is one of adventure and peril, as if the viewer is witnessing a life changing event between man and beast at sea.

The fantasy elements, dramatic lighting, and the dynamic action of the waves contribute to an epic, almost storybook-like quality in the painting.
