One more brush stroke might ruin it so I feel as though this painting is complete! Now I need to name it. Any ideas?

Mimic octopus added to Buddha’s Reef
Oh yeah! The first of many Indo-Pacific reef creatures to be added. I can’t begin to tell you how exciting it was to paint this fella. Interesting creature, the mimic octopus. It has learned to mimic other reef creatures to evade predation including lionfish, sea serpents, and flounder.

Adding more reef fish.
Added some of my favorite reef fishes to this small painting. A Queen angelfish, Rock Beauty, porkfish, and Great Barracuda have found their home. I will also be adding some blue tangs, parrotfish, wrasse and others to this work soon. Stay tuned!

Dabbling with acrylics.
I thought I would dabble a bit in acrylics last night. It was quite frustrating having to work is quicker than I do with oils, but I got the hang of it again. I plan on adjusting colors in the sky by adding more layers, and then I can focus on the reef life!
I am making great strides in building this beautiful Bali reef scene. I plan on adding more blue, pink, and yellow corals as well as TONS of Pacific reef fish. Stay tuned for more updates!
