About this Painting…

I always liked aquariums and have had a few of them going over the years but never a saltwater tank. Therefore, I painted one. It is a 16x20 acrylic painted stretched canvas with some of those brightly colored favorite saltwater fish we all love - including, you guessed it, we found Nemo.

Easy care fish aquarium! No fish food required.

Painting in Progress Images...

The habitat must be setup first...Although I don't always necessarily follow the rules, the background comes first. I look at whatever is farthest away, paint it first. If you are painting a landscape with a sun, you paint the sun first then fill in the sky, then the clouds.

2:15 Friday, January 29, 2021 progress thus far. The first fish emerges...

3:20 his friends are started to show up...

Things change at times. At first I thought on the right side foreground, there would be a rock there. Changed my mind.

10:25 AM Saturday, January 30, 2021 getting closer to being done...The next blog post will be the final painting.

Post 20: Freshwater Aquarium 10 x 20 Acrylic on Canvas

Painting Name: Freshwater Aquarium

SKU: #10T20AC
Medium: Acrylic Painting

Size: 10 x 20 Stretched Canvas

Edition Year: 2020

    (fish food not included)

Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DonnaLiguriaArt

This original artwork is a painting of a fresh water fish aquarium. It includes various fish the could be found in a fish tank, but no feeding is required.

Growing up, we had a freshwater aquarium going for many years and enjoyed watching our finned friends going through their busy, watery days. Not to mention the cycle of life...the stories we remember - from guppy babies, and "where did the Red-Tailed Shark go?"*, to "oooops!", the Angelfish ate one of our brand new Neon Tetras we -just- introduced to the aquarium.

So in honor of Neon Tetras everywhere, if you can't have the real aquarium, here is a maintenance-free aquarium. 

There IS a story on "Where did the Red-Tailed Shark go?" I am hoping to get my brother to explain it...will update if I can get him to do it.
