This could get boring, how slowly I am progressing on this painting. I am doing other paintings on the side, once they're done I'll post them.

- I wish it was easier. The coral reef is amazing, and hidden from view unless you dive. I struggle to paint, instead of letting the little details of life bog me down.

Queen Angel II

Unfinished, obviously! I am painting with the tiniest brushes. I have to look through magnifying glasses to see!

juvenile three-spot damselfish (Stegastes planifrons)

The tiny yellow fish will be a plain dark brown when he grows up.
Defending Damsel

The little Damsel fish is very protective of the garden he grows, and will try to chase you away!
Peeking Red Hind

Some fish hide and peek at you from a safe place. Others just swim merrily on by.
Pink Sponge with Orange Seahorse

Seahorses tuck in their chin when they see you looking at them.
Descending Wrass

Fishes don't always swim in a straight line!
Beautiful Valley

This is an overhanging coral formation.
Redstripe Parrotfish

The Redstripe Parrotfish can vary tremendously in color. Sometimes paler, and sometimes even totally green with red fins, but the red stripe along the jaw is always present.
Yellowfin Grouper

This Grouper was peeking at me from behind the blue Creole Wrasses swimming by.

this bit of reef was in Grand Cayman Island
Not boring to me. I like the way you are letting your readers in on the work in its unfinished state.
ReplyDeleteOK, seems much too slow to me. I had a dream that my direction was animation. Not the silly simplified Shrek kind, but the reef, eeek! Lotta work if I do that!
ReplyDeleteAnd I seem to be getting amore than fifty hits a week, not bad for a totally hidden blog.
Hey! Rome was not built in a day right?
ReplyDeleteLooks good and keeps my interst. I agree with Con that as an artist, I like seeing the progression. I've tried that during a current painting, taking pics as I prgress. Then I've hit a snag, growing frustration...... so taking careful pics has gone by the wayside.
Keep truckin'! (or....er.......swimmin'!)
