43 Fishes

This artwork is a whimsical and textured painting on a wooden surface, depicting an underwater scene with a school of stylized fish and a sailboat floating above. The fish are painted in shades of orange, black, and white, each with bold, expressive eyes that give them a lively, almost cartoonish character. The water is represented with a distressed blue wash, allowing the natural wood grain to show through, adding depth and texture. Above the fish, a simple black sailboat with white outlines contrasts sharply against the rustic wood background. The playful, almost folk-art style, combined with the organic feel of the wood, creates a charming and visually engaging composition.
