My need to express the wonders of the marine life I see on scuba diving
trips is what inspires me to create emotional oil and watercolor paintings.
Underwater photography of the marine life and quick ink sketches after
dive trips are later transferred to larger paintings in my studio.
I believe 'style' is a relative term and I have developed one which allows
me to most freely "recreate" the underwater world and the marine life I
love.
Come with me now on a trip under the sea.
Come with me.....see the world through my diving mask.

Queen Angelfish are found throughout the Caribbean.
The name comes from the speckled blue-ringed black
spot on the head, which resembles a crown.
The tall narrow body is about 12" long, but can get to
18". They swim by rowing their pectoral fins. The
thin, long dorsal, anal and caudal fins allow turning
quickly.

Octopus are closely related to squid, nautlilus and
cuttlefish.
Octopus have eight legs and feed mainly on small
fishes, scallops and shrimps with their jawlike beaks
located in the under center of their bodies.
As a defense, the octopus can quickly change
its skin color to blend into the background,
camoflaging from potential enemies.
As an added defense, the octopus can squirt blank ink
to provide a smoke screen, thereby giving him time to
get away.

about a year.
The mouth is on the underside in the
middle of its central disk.
