Description
"Betta"
A digital pastel painting on a textured paper canvas of a Siamese fighting fish, better known around these parts as a Betta fish, languidly swimming in a pool of blue and green water as it flares its long beautiful red tail fins. I used texture to suggest movement of the water and light reflections surrounding this beautiful example of native Asian aquatic wildlife, that for obvious reasons are very popular in the pet trade. Do keep in mind that if you should purchase one of these beautiful fish for your own they will need a much larger tank than the small bowls used to display them in pet shops, which actually border on cruelty. Give your Betta a proper roomy home and they will blossom like the aquatic flowers they are for a long time to come. Please visit my Zoo art collection to see more of my marine life artwork.
