MONSOON MARLIN

" MONSOON MARLIN "

My son has a large fishing boat called "MONSOON ".

Each year just after Christmas he and his family spend a month up the mid north coast fishing for Marlin.

This year while we were fishing one day a black marlin swam within arms length along side the boat and lifted it's head out of the water ( just like this painting ).

Me being the mad keen fisherman / artist, thought to myself that I had to make a painting of this event. The colours represent the beep blue of the ocean then the swirling wash of the boat and above the beautiful clear sky of January.

This sculpture / painting style is one of my favourite ways to express movement using solid colours and the texture tells the rest of the story.

The painting is 122 cm wide 91 cm high and 4 cm deep.

It is wired on the back ready to hang and has a Certificate of Authenticity.
