A Painting in Progress: Jellyfish Hijinks
It is rather amazing that something so -yukky- can be so beautiful. Beautiful and terrifying. Beautiful to see floating and drifting about but -do not touch- ! They can sting (even if dead) and some of them can kill.

What would you name this Jellyfish Painting? Help me name it! "Jellyfish" just doesn't seem right...
Ok, I came up with one. Jellyfish Hijinks. It works. Playful, mischievous, rowdy activity as perpetrated by the jellyfish.
Wondering a bit online whilst considering the jellyfish, I had in mind "on the ocean, blue"...and I found this band called The Ocean Blue and the name of the song is "Between Something and Nothing" https://youtu.be/SCIEv73PF4Y - nice lyrics...
"...Could not convey the meaning, Of what this man has done, In a painting, On canvas"

I'm going with a narrow canvas - 8x16. Anyway, I'm starting to wash in the background and layout. Layer, layer, layer...

Friday, July 23, 2021 9:48 AM - I still need a name for Jellyfish. And the debate has begun on is this done or not? What else does it need? Should I stop? What is it missing? Will anything else added start being too much?
The end of a painting is often up for debate. I would think this is true for many artists? How about you?
