Shadow Fish

I got home from work today and needed to relax, so I sat in my favorite reading chair and treated myself to the great literary classic "One fish two fish red fish blue fish" by Dr.Seuss. Inspired by the aquatic theme of the first 6 pages in the book, I decided to paint another fish study. He doesn't quite have the same personality as a Seuss fish, but it's something to strive for!

Went to Sea World a couple of weeks ago... when I was there I took a lot of pictures. I finally got around to looking at them and decided to make a little study of one. This fish study inspired me to concept a merman, so in between working on a model for the day job I painted this character.
