Aquatic Paintings

[waltercat]

After about a 10 year hiatus, I started painting again. I never really took it seriously but last month figured I'd give it a go again. I was looking for a theme to build a body of work around and I thought why not aquatic life. Anyways, here are my first 2 completed pieces. I'm really happy with them.

1. Yellow Watchman and RBTA (9 8"x10" panels)


2. Bickering Clowns (1'x2')

What do you guys think?

Clownfish look so mean. The website looks great.

OMG i just realized that the 2 clowns and goby all have frowns. I need to paint a puffer fish.

 

[KathyC]

They are always frowning...that makes them look 'normal'.. Lovin the pic in Post # 10!!

How about a Mandarin..they are happier looking :biggrin:

I love that now we have painting as well as photography on MR. Your web site is really clean and nice, and you are definitely capturing the fish personalities!

Hey all, just finished my latest painting. I am really happy with this one, it took me a while to get it right, but my patience paid off in the end. It's 24"x48", a big one:
