Submarine and Base

Oil paints have been used for many centuries and even today oil is still one of the easiest and most forgiving mediums to work with. Because oil will generally not run or move when placed on a brush, the act of creating a painting becomes a matter of putting the right color paint in the proper place. These are the facts that I shared with Noah as he began to create his first oil painting he calls “Submarine and Base”. Using the artist Vincent Van Gogh as his inspiration, Noah observed many of Van Gogh’s paintings and he focused on the dark colors of the Starry Night.

While Noah’s painting bears no resemblance to the Starry Night painting, the act of putting paint on canvas was no less inspiring to watch. “Submarine and Base” features three tall brown volcanoes with a blazing red and orange sky as their backdrop. Traversing the deep blue sea at the surface, an unnamed submarine is approaching from right to left to its secret island base.

I hope you enjoy Noah’s oil painting as much as I have and feel free to support his objective to raise money for college through his PayPal account.
