Jessica, that's beautiful. Do you have any information on the artist or the artwork itself?

Cheers,

The site is london ( uk) based and here is what is said about the artist :

Andrew Gonzalez

"Primarily a figurative artist, my images explore the Sophianic (wisdom) mysteries of the body. And through the inspiration of Western and Eastern esoteric symbolic imagery, the figures are sublimated by transfigurative energies, exalted in glory and destiny, made transparent to the transcendent by the dramatic union of the sensual and celestial."
"I do not consider my work fantasy art or surrealist, and although influenced by romanticism, symbolism and idealism my work comes closer to the purpose of a Transpersonal Tantric art."

As for the 'Goldfish in Glass' image, I find it very thought provoking. I love images like that.

For me, I see it as an almost humorous existential portrait. A portrait that could represent our lives, our struggle to find happiness & contentment within our lives, and a glimpse of what awaits us on the other side.

That's a beautiful and profound way of looking at it.

Just mixing some colours at the moment, trying to get a "honey" brown......(eye colour).....

If I mix blue and green together, what colour will I get?

Bluegrass, I guess  Why don't you try instead of asking? 

On topic, I like this painting by Kandinsky:

I'm after the advice of artists who have experience in mixing paint.
