Description
36"x48" (in other words, BIG!) acrylic on canvas.I took the idea from this smaller piece ([link] ) that I did around this time last year. And I made it BIG.
The original has already sold, though I may do some limited edition prints.
This piece took me a SHOCKINGLY long time. I worked on it, on and off, for over a year. Hopefully the next one will go faster...

This is truly exceptional. I love the mix of realism with those free-flowing lines, which you've carried out so seamlessly!

Whoa. Truly an amazing deviation. The flow and movement of everything all works so well together..it's a nice idea and executed very well. I definitely like this newer version compared to the one you linked in your artist comments. I like the bright, warm colors you used on these fish to really make them *pop* out from the background as well as the rich blues in this versions background.
definitely a fav

I had a professional transparency made from it and will probably be selling my own limited edition run of prints. I'll post about it once I get the sale part of my site up and running!
