Nautilus



I have just finished work on my latest piece , "Nautilus".  If the truth be told I am always working on more than one piece at any one time.  This particular piece has been about three different paintings or shall I say "I had intentions for it to be two different things".  First it was going to be the Golden Fisherman and then a lion fish.  I am sure one day I will get the Golden Fisherman painted, the question is when?  We will see.  This work is available for purchase.  If I don't sell it this week, I think I am going to enter it into the SRRA spring art show.  I would love to sell it, but I would also like to put it in the show.  I guess only time will tell.  When I began this painting it started out as an abstract of gold, bronze, nickel azo and burnt red orange.  As it progresses I utilized some negative shade painting techniques.  They say every great painting was an abstract at some time.  This 30 x 48 acrylic on canvas would look stunning in a beach front condo or beach house.
