Fire Fish (for sale)

This painting is based on a photo I took from above of fish swimming in water. I altered the photo of the fish and made them bigger. Then I painted the dark background similar to the photo. Once I placed the fish photo transfers on the painting, I wanted to recreate the water that didn't show in the photograph. I layered lots of gloss on this painting and made it look streaky to create the movement of the water. It is for sale for $250 (18x18).
