I don't always know what the final painting will look like because I immerse myself in expressing what is trying to come through me. I consider myself just a channel used by outside forces that need to offer something to people who need it in order for them to feel good. It really makes me feel like I am watching a goldfish parade. When I was a child I loved watching goldfish in resort ponds. I guess this is where the inspiration comes from.
This painting has been exhibited, moved a few times to various locations, and it is in excellent condition. I stretched my own linen or canvas on the stretcher bars and built the base. The painting is done in oils and it is on Linen.
Although I have taken photographs during the day, having the colors come true as they are is impossible. In reality, they are much more vibrant. It is like they have their own life since the shapes and color combination create so much movement. The color combination is very peaceful and serene and has a calm yet energetic effect on the viewer. Just like watching fish in an aquarium or in a lake with crystal clear water.
All my paintings change very much by the surrounding light and objects. It would look great with an accent light above or below the painting.
An appropriate frame would look great.
Wonderful for any residential and commercial environment. less
