After returning from a Florida coastal vacation, there was a natural inspiration of course to “paint a fish”. Of all the “sportfish,” the bull dolphin is by far the most colorful. The fish literally “lights up” when getting caught or agitated. How in the world can these fish be so wildly colored? Surely when the word “neon” was first inspired, certainly the colors of this fish would have been involved in that inspiration. Because of the color-blindness of the artist, the bright colors of this fish can be seen over the darker hues of most other fish. Because of the unbelievable colors that occur naturally in these fish, the artists just had to attempt to get them onto the canvas.
