About the image: After living in Hawaii with the beautiful ocean waters and being exposed to a number of well known underwater artists that were represented in the galleries there, it was AFTER my years of living there that I decided I wanted to try my hand at painting some underwater scenes.
We used to live above Captain Cook Bay on the Kona side of the Big Island which was a well-known spot where people would come to swim with the dolphins. So, for sure I easily had dolphins on my mind to include in whatever I was painting.
I also had fond memories to call upon of favorite shallow water snorkeling spots with the colorful fish one could enjoy at these locations.
Underwater World is more of a fantasy scene that I put together first on paper in a drawing than it is of absolute reality of anything I experienced. These may be colorful fish I might have enjoyed seeing but never in this ideal lighting nor this deep. I was and still am only comfortable in shallow water snorkeling, not deeper water diving!
This is a very finely detailed painting with lots to enjoy. The colors are just beautiful and reproduced beautifully with the print.
If you’d like another part of the story behind the painting of the original: When I painted the original painting - which is now in the happy home of a collector, I painted it in the pre-dawn hours, starting my days at 4 AM in an experiment to see how this busy mom could get more artistically productive hours into each day. I will share it is a solid strategy - has merit!
