Sea Fans - A Work in Progress

Today is my birthday and I was greeted with a bright and sunny day albeit a cold one -8F (-22C). The snow crunched under my boots as I headed down to do the barn chores.














Once I returned and made myself a cup of tea to warm up from being outside I chose this painting on which to work (see postings on 20 Oct 2011, 11 Jul 2012 and 26 Dec 2012). I wanted to get the blue grey tones onto the individual fish hiding among the sea fans.














I started with the pork fish on the upper left side and then moved downward to add the colour to the pair of four eyed butterfly fish.














I finished with the two yellow tail snappers in the middle right of the painting.

I will post this painting at a later date once it has been completed.
