This will be my last Stone Rock’d fish for a long while!  Aren’t you glad?  It’s been awfully fishy around this blog and I’ve got a hankering to get my hands wet again in some acrylic paint.  This project has been fun and time consuming, but I’ve got some killer fish for my clients and for the rest of the World to enjoy too. 🙂

Happy Sunday everyone!

Flowers & Fish (They’re Connected!)

I am still working on fish and flowers.  Ever since 5th grade Science class, we all learned that everything is connected in the ecosystem.  We also know that rain makes flowers grow.  But did you know that fish also make them thrive?

According to a study by University of Florida’s ecologist Robert Holt, fish are integral in the life cycle of flowers.  It all starts around the pond where bees pollinate nearby flowers.  Dragonflies prey on bees and you guessed it:  Fish eat the dragonflies.  So less fish means more dragonflies which means less bees.  Less bees equals less pollination.  Without pollination the flowers do not survive.   

So, while fish don’t actually pollinate flowers, they have a strong indirect influence in this environment. This doesn’t mean that fish in general influence the flower population worldwide, but it does suggest that waterside plants in certain ecosystems could be affected by a drop (or rise) in the fish population. 

Very cool!

Not only have we been getting these little showers here in Florida, custom commission work has been pouring in as well. 🙂  As you can see below, I am still working hard on my fish for the big hotel project in Key West.  I am also creating special pieces for my collectors.  I spoke with a woman last night who lives in Hawaii.  She is commissioning a very sentimental piece to hang in her home that she shares with her partner. They are commemorating their lives together so far.  And my piece will signify their prayers that they would find each other before they met.  As always I am honored to be a part of so many people’s lives in such an intimate way.  And also grateful just to add beauty to the World.

Something FISHY Goin On….

Some of you might have noticed that I have not blogged about any new work lately and that I have been bringing back some older blogs that never got much attention.  The reason for both are two-fold.  First of all I am working on a bunch of new Stone Rock’d tropical fish for a HUGE hotel project in Key West, FL.  And secondly, when I first started my blog, I blogged about my most popular paintings at the time.  But with only 2 followers, no one ever saw them.  So I am giving all of my newest followers a chance to see these works too.

The piece above is titled “Tropical Fish 12” and is one of the many I have created that I am totally satisfied with.  I will be submitting it to the design firm with a few others in a few days.  I already know that the client loves my first piece as it has been paid for and is in production.  I am really excited about this project and know that they will love more of my work.  So busy I stay….

Swim along and see more below.

I recently had a chance to Stone Rock another fish.  I normally gravitate toward bright colors, but I love the simplicity of this tropical beauty.  When I am not using bright primary colors, I depend on high contrast to create interest and drama.  The black background seemed a perfect backdrop.  It’s sophisticated…or Sofishticated….
