Sea jelly

I think I'm calling this jellyfish done.
Its a departure from my normal style of painting and I have had such fun doing it. The act of simply slapping on paint and paste without too much cerebral involvement is very freeing and quite satisfying. I like the textured surface and how it stops me from being too fiddly.
I added a few more washes of watercolour, then broke out the oils to intensify colours and put in some shots of yellows and oranges. I reshaped a few sections of the tentacles with more molding paste. Now I'll let it sit and see if anything else calls out to me for adjusting.

Thanks Lydie, glad you like it. Its a departure from my usual style but great fun to create.
Deb, I think this one's pretty safe to touch. :)
Vicki, thank you. I really liked creating the texture in this piece.
I love the impasto effects and texture. The color is beautiful and fantastic. I love the layers of color and the multicolor look. A very beautiful and fascinating picture.
