Cool Fish

Ever since my first experience snorkeling in the Virgin Islands in 2008, I've been obsessed with painting underwater creatures.  It's incredible what lives down in the deep depths of the ocean, creatures we would never know existed.  I started purchasing all kinds of reference to find and identify some of the fish I've seen personally, and in the process I've discovered some really unusual creatures.  Many of my paintings are replicas of the real deal, but more and more they become my own fantasy creation based on only tidbits of fact.
