"Fish Tank at Night"

9"x12" Oil on Canvas Board

NFS

There is nothing more relaxing than watching your fish swim in the quiet of the night. As an artist, I wanted to recapture this experience in a painting. My only light source as I painted was the luminous glow of the aquarium. The fish portrayed here is a Lion Head goldfish. It floated, weightless as its iridescent scales radiated like the light of the full moon. I miss this painting. I gave this painting to our downstairs neighbor for helping us move on two occasions. I think she thought it was a weird gift.
