Fish Paintings

I've recently begun painting again after many years away from it. Today, I'm doing some fish paintings. What do you think?

I think both of those are too good to waste on fish. You should focus on doing paintings for people instead. People tend to appreciate art a bit more, and usually have more disposable income to spend. Plus I'm not sure how watercolors would hold up in a fish's home.

I know a carp who will pay up to $350 for those paintings.

Very good work!

Great art!

I really like paintings from the "photo-realism" genre.

These look like that to me.

I am very impressed !!!

I think your paintings are terrific! Great talent!

I am just surprised that the webmaster allowed them on this site, since the fish are not wearing any clothes! !

Excellent work Dee8go!!!

I will extend to you the offer I have made to several other artists.
I have excellent, climate controlled storage space available for select paintings if you run out of storage space...

I likee!


Do you paint from memory or do you look at a photo or an actual fish as a model?
