Artwork Description

Oil on stretched canvas, ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

I have significantly reworked this painting, especially the colour of the water, details of the kingfish, and by adding the moorish idol as a colour accent. I was inspired by the light interacting with the sea turtle and the interesting visual characteristics of the full-bodied kingfish that I photographed on my trip to Queensland. I loved sketching them from all the various angles in an impressionist technique to create this tropical underwater scene.

Medium

I use an impasto technique that is a direct application of professional quality oil paints onto canvas. The painting has a thin layer of satin varnish to even out the surface sheen and to protect the oil paint.

The prominent tree is mostly in shadow as the first light illuminates only the top of the branches. The background is lit up against the foreground that is still in shadow, apart from thin streaks of light on the grass. This indicates that the sun is rising behind the viewer.
