Red Crab Oil Painting Art Animals Sea Ocean Water

This feisty-looking crab was photographed and shared by a friend.  I was inspired to paint "his" vibrant color.  If I had caught him I would have let him go back to the water!

Fallswoods Oil Landscape Painting Forest Woodland Nature Hiking Creek

Oil on stretched canvas, 11" x 14"

This was a very attractive scene to me and I was excited to catch some of the feeling of it in paint.  The water was rushing through a heavily wooded area and the sun was lighting up the background through the trees.  I enjoyed painting the big rocks too but they were a challenge.

Koi in Pool Oil Painting Fish Animal Semi-Abstract Art

Oil on canvas hardboard, 9" x 11"

Koi fish are converging into a single group in this painting.  I wanted to convey the energy of their forms as they slid through the water and created waves and ripples.  I used a palette knife in much of the painting and strived to keep a loose and abstract feel to the piece.  The colors are joyful and bring a smile!

Goldfish Oil Painting Fish Art Portrait Sea Animals Aquarium Ocean

Oil on Raymar panel, 8" x 10".

I can't resist taking photos of colorful fish wherever I happen to see them.  These goldfish were swimming in a very long aquarium that separated two rooms in a large, open house.  I thought it was a great room divider and fun to watch!

Blue Face Angelfish Oil Painting Exotic Marine Life Tropical Art

Oil on canvas hardboard, 8" x 10"

My painting group was given a photo of this tropical fish as a challenge painting for all of us to paint in our own styles.  An artist and photographer friend had taken the photo at an aquarium in San Diego where she lived for several years and still visits.  I had fun with it and didn't worry about too much detail.  I was pleased with the suggestion of the pink coral in the background and just the overall "underwater" look of the painting.  Hope it comes across like this to viewer.
