The best book for painting ever!

This is the main source of inspiration for my current marine series of fish eyes and details of fins etc. I bought this book for $20 at the Griffith Conservatorium of music bookshop and was so inspired by the stunning photography.

This site has some of his fish eye photography

Marine Series

Newest painting in progress towards my end of year exhibition





Here are some photos of my current obsession, paintings from macro marine photography. I have been experimenting with oils, acrylics, encaustic and I have been told to try resin. I am planning to continue this style of work for my end of year tafe exhibition, as well as following the same themes in both my drawing and printmaking classes.
