About LinkBacksHi guys,
I've been doing some paintings lately, inspired by some of the photos taken by my fellow reef keepers.
This one was inspired by Mike's majestic angel:
Of all the forums I've been to, I always thought this one has the best photographers. So I thought I'd ask you all if you have any photos you think might make good paintings. I'm just looking for ideas (which I seem to be out of at the moment)...

Re: Looking for Inspiration
Cool, thanks! That puffer one is a definite! I like the mandarin too, but I haven't figured out a way to paint one of them that it would be interesting. They're already so colorful. They're almost like paintings just by themselves.

Mike - that is a cool one too. But the fish looks kinda menacing to me... lolLast edited by sihaya; 07-20-2007 at 12:34 PM.

Again, it's a bad photo... but at least you get the idea. ;)~namaste~

Re: Looking for Inspiration
Very neat paintings, Sara. I think one of my favorite butterflies would make a great subject for a painting.
something like this...
Kind regards,
Gene.

Re: Looking for Inspiration
Thanks Gene
I think you're right about the butterfly... especially with one of those fabulous acropora colonies in the background!
