“This painting depicts Haemulon Flavolineatum, or French Grunts...tropical fish that is. This painting was inspired by a visit to Palma Aquarium in Mallorca last year. This painting started as an abstract but I soon got carried away! I love the visual effect that fish create and they provide a great subject for the use of reflective paints, which sing out in the right light. Having worked on a fish stall in Hackney in my youth, I have a great empathy with fish...I also found that this was a good way to empty the upper storey of a double decker bus!”
