Jason, Age 7, Sea Monster
Jason has painted another large monster, (one year after his
Chimera,) a Sea Monster. The composition on this second monster is
frontal. He faces forward, yet he is not totally symmetrical. His blue
tongue hangs on his right side, his large eyes seem crossed, and his
head, showing motion, leans to the left. Jason has been careful not
to sacrifice his implied size. He has scaled the monster so that he
disappears into the waves and off the page. Showing the head and expression
of the face were more important than fitting the legs into the composition.
