Beneath

My entry for Illustration Friday’s topic Beneath.

I recently went to the Academy of Sciences in San Francisco and in their Rainforests of the World exhibit they have a section where the fish swim over you. The photos I took inspired this image. I mean how often do you get to see fish swimming above you?

This image was a speed paint completed in approx. 3 hours.

    A beautiful painting. It is made even more magical by the fact we are viewing the fish from below.

    Lovely perspective! Feels real enough that I feel just a little bit panicky (I’m scared of getting into water over my head). :p
