“A detailed study of the coral reefs and marine-life found in the Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary near Big Pine Key... I can't say that I've seen very many tropical fish paintings that I've actually liked; usually eye-popping eye-candy with way too many fish and hardly no composition. I wanted this painting to represent the incredible underwater landscape, the way it unfolded before me. The ceiling thirty feet up, is the ceiling of the ocean. This design was developed completely from my HD video that I shot on several charter dives, I was able to pull very clear stills from the video on my computer. There was so much to look at; examining the stills I discovered marine-life that I did not see while I was down there. Like the Seahorse that you may, or may not be able to see in this image! Over four months from start to finish including the research -scuba diving trips required, design-work, sculpting, painting and varnishing.” -Peter R. Gerbert
