An abstract painting inspired by the abundant life buzzing around a healthy coral reef. Hopefully something that we have to enjoy for many years to come.
This was one of my first attempts at adding colourful coral to my fish paintings. A bit of experimentation here. The coral is created with a layer of random acrylic colours, once dry, I then return to my usual practice of covering the canvas in dark blue oil paint, then removing the colour using soft palette knife and brushwork. The difficulty was that I had no idea how the coral would look after it had been covered with blue paint. Would it be bright enough? Would it be too bright?
But, it worked enough to be considered a "Final Art Piece", and also showed enough potential to experiment more with this idea.
As with all my fish, and ocean scenes there is no end of options, and variations because the paintings move and change as I work on them, almost as much as the ocean and the fish themselves.
