I couldn’t help myself on this one… Since the word was “Swamp,” I really wanted to paint a swamp monster. At first I thought of doing a vintage poster with a contemporary twist. But then this crazy idea hit me, and I had to paint it. I know it’s gross, but it makes me smile.

This is great!!
i like the expression of the swamp-animal!
Thank you Susanna!
Hahaha, nice one! Definitely reminds me of vintage swamp monster (I think it’s the head fins). That really is a great look on his face. Cute frogs too!
So glad you caught that I was going for the vintage swamp monster. Thank you for your kind words.
Hee hee. This is good. I like it.
Thank you!
Ha ha! I think the poor swamp monster read the poster a little too late!
I really like the effect of the light coming through the trees.
Glad you like the humor and the painting. Thank you!
Fantastic!! Thank you for the smile!
Glad you like it! Thank you!
Haha! That’s brilliant! The poster really made me giggle and I love the expression on the faces of the swamp monster and the frogs next to him. Excellent stuff 🙂
Thank you so much!
