Oil on canvas 28 x 22
Photo reference the excellent stock image from Beckystock.
Tried a lot of experimental techniques in this painting and they seem to come out alright. I originally planned to have the main figure being flanked by two dolphins but in the end they would have covered too much of the background. Besides painting the fish brought back pleasant memories of the tropical fish I had when I was a child.
Not the best photograph, must buy a new camera or get access to a good scanner.
...amazing work,my friend!To paint so many details in a quite small size,is really not easy.It needs a lot of patience.the details are so well done.I like also the touch of "mythology"here,and your way to put your personal story about the fishes..Wonderful harmony of colours.The swimming beauty-Superb!The only thing,I 'm missing,is some kind of "tiny waterbubbles" around her,or "moving"in the water,I don't know,I think I would have done so,but,maybe I am wrong...(lol)Bravo!!!
I think you are probably right. Early on I thought of bubbles and planned to put them in but I simply forgot in my enthusiasm to complete the work. I am thinking of adding them after all. Thanks so much for your feedback, your comments always welcome.
