Painting I did for a Halloween themed art show
Hard to see the details in pictures. The blue, gold, pink, and a grey mixed in the horns are all metallic. Most of the white highlights in the water are actually the blue metallic reflecting. It's about 3ft by 3ft acrylic on board.

Painting #2 done
2nd painting done since trying to take painting up as a hobby. Lots I got frustrated with and decided I had to just be done with it, walk away, and start something new. I was going crazy with frustration on this.
I might come back to it to fix the clouds if I have practice some.

Where do I put my signature.
I usually put my signature on the bottom left where the arrow is, but I feel it will be too easily cropped or covered by a frame. I'm thinking about placing it on the long fin. Thoughts?

Acrylic on black canvas. I'm not really a painter. Have maybe painted 4 times in my life (55M). My son (6M) wanted to do some painting so I did this one in about 40mins while he did a couple paintings of his own.
