Yes, before you say it … strange! :-) As of July 2009, this painting has had 5,048 viewings and has been favourited 79 times and had 194 comments, so I guess someone out there likes it. Many thanks for your enthusiasm. To be candid though, I’ll never cease to be amazed at its reception, as I didn’t spend too much time on it and even kept it out of my portfolio for ages as I thought it was sub-standard.

Angler fish really are quite remarkable creatures! They live in the deep deep sea, further down than the light can reach, so to lure their prey in total darkness, they have rigged up a system of light emitting devices. They are not turned on here (as he is in the light, and they use up a lot of power so he only turns them on when he is hungry). Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte on canvas.
My first piece finished in 09! Another octobeast from my series – here’s another one Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, metallic leaf on canvas. / He has golden suckers!

/ / So I was at a sushi restaurant with my friend, and she said ‘ostrich tentacle’ rather than octopus tentacle. A curious beast that just had to be painted. Ostriches are cool – sort of snooty and silly looking at the same time. / I liked painting his funny feets. Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte on canvas, 30cm x 23cm. / / / /
