FRESH FISH BY TOM BROWN



“ART ON ICE”
10x5 inch original oil painting
by Tom Brown

These beauties at a local ethnic market were lying on a bed of ice, just waiting to be painted. My first stop in this store is always the fresh fish displays. Stunning to say the least.

My goal with this painting was to capture the character of the fish while minimizing any distracting detail. I have no idea what variety of fish these are, but they were beautiful. I had no choice; I simply HAD to paint them.

Perhaps soon I’ll get the chance to paint some of the other wonderful varieties always available here.
