Thanks Sal, Paul. The idea's certainly nothing new. Note Alan was doing it a while ago and if you were to Google 'The Cave of Lascaux' - some folk were at it then (a better stab at it than me - no pun). Granted - their work perhaps doesn't sit in the 'Santa's Sack' arena as may mine, but they didn't have chimneys, so probably were unaware of the potential for such gifts! (Let's not do the obvious anachronism about St Nicholas and the Paleolithic Peoples from the aforementioned region.)
Anyway - whilst watching football (Soccer to you Beth, Peter) I knocked this one out (!).
Great link Ed - thanks. Beautifully preserved representations and intriguing commentary (excepting the classification of 'rhino' as a predatory animal). This, and Alan's comment about painting surfaces, is making my head start to buzz.
Just a bit.
I made a variety of sketches for this commission and this was the one chosen. I quite like bits of it up to now, yet I think I'm missing a trick somewhere. Anyway, I'll get the birds in and see how that alters things.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
