I teach my students that one reason for making art is to remember. I did these little pieces to remind me of our incredible trip to Orange Beach, AL. We got our limit of both triggerfish and amberjack. I discovered that amberjack are called ‘Sea Donkeys’ because they’re known to be one of the hardest fighters in the Gulf. Let me tell you, I was sore for THREE DAYS after fighting with those sea donkeys!! Precious memories of that very special moment in time.
Used here, Pitt pens, my awesome Custom-Cindy-Designed paintbrush and Golden fluid acrylics, along with Golden’s inference colors for that sparkly pop.
The triggerfish we caught were all I think between ten and 15 pounds. They are SUPER YUMMY!!! I had no idea they were so tasty! The amberjacks were all between 40 and 50 pounds. Those donkeys!! When I paint to preserve my memories it’s always very special. If YOU have memories you’d like me to paint, just ask. It’s what I do.
