Elliot Brown-Pott, MRC ArtWorks
Fremouw Showdown
$64.00
A trio of prehistoric animals are on the beach and in the water. Two are staking their territory while the third is minding its own business cooling off in the water. The animal in the water is looking to the left and seems to be enjoying the view as their gaze goes off the canvas. This prehistoric animal appears to be a squatty dinosaur looking lizard with a gray body and blue stripes. Its twin is in the immediate foreground on the left of the canvas standing on the sand. This dinosaur looking lizard makes his presence known by its wide stance as it gazes directly at the viewer with big orange eyes and mouth wide open with fangs. To its right and in the background, is a yellow and orange striped and spotted tiger with big green eyes. Its stance is wide and is looking directly at the other animal on the sand. The mouth is open showing off all its very sharp and pointed teeth.
