Crocodile Painting Frame:Dark ash one carrying a feathered lanceThis dramatic painting bursts with motion as a crocodile lunges from churning, foam flecked water, jaws thrown wide to reveal rows of jagged teeth and a pale pink throat. Loose, energetic brushstrokes whip the spray into swirls of white, sage and olive, conveying the sheer violence of the strike. The reptile's olive green hide and ridged back gleam with reflected light, while wet impasto highlights trail down the canvas like splashes frozen mid air.
