Coral Reef in Tandem


This painting is rather large at 30"x30"x1 1/2" gallery wrap. I started this one just by scumbling in some primary colors onto the canvas. I turned the canvas on it's various sides to see what would appear. My friend Michele Lee and I looked and waited to see what God wanted this painting to become. Well, I soon lost my light at the studio to paint by but not before we saw these wonderful little fish swimming out and through the coral reefs. The other sides revealed other options as well but the coral reef and all it's beautiful colors just called to me. I brought it to my home studio and there I began to pull out the basic elements that you now see. Coral Reef in Tandem was born!
