Arowana

The picture posted here depicts two arowanas (locally known as the golden dragon fish) in their freshwater habitat. This species usually dwells in midwater or close to the surface of ponds or reservoirs.
The famous fish which is native to South East Asia can grow to a metre long.It is oviparous (mouth-brooding); predatory; solitary or in pairs. This oil painting is done on a 61 cm by 81 cm plywood board.

Just another painting

The inspiration for the painting shown below comes from a photograph (sorry - I didn't make note of the photographer's name). Anyway I took the liberty to change the local colours slightly to make it look abstract. It was done sometime in 2006 (can't remember which month).

Shall be back as soon as I can.
