When I was at the fish market I found these amazing red snapper. Their faces are unbelieveable, otherworldly, but somehow weirdly human looking. They are so dramatic, I wanted to put them in a dramatic environment. I painted snapper companions.

golden trout moon
22" x 28" oil on aluminum
for Heather

I found these golden trout at the pike stree fish market in Seattle. they looked so remarkable I had to bring some home to paint, because I wasn't sure I would trust the photographs I took. They seemed almost albino, almost transparent. so delicate, I painted them all in high key, to accentuate their very fragile seeming beauty.
