A few of my favorite Caribbean reef fish. A Stoplight Parrotfish, Juvenal Wrasse and a brilliant Yellow-tailed Damsel, swimming with other tropical reef fish though a lush forest of bright corals and sponges.

Lighthouse Reef is off the coast of Belize. I love the natural light that sparkles through the gin clear water on a bright Caribbean day.  I try to memorize a reef scene in the same studying-way I would if I were drawing the scene. 

My paintings come together after many dives; favorite scenes become anchored in the sands of my mind. My paintings are not from photographs; in my mind, they are in motion; the light sparkles in prisms and small fish dart around the corals and sponges.

I am in awe: observing the smallest coral head and the reef creatures that call it home, so I make a dull dive buddy. In this calm observing state, I anchor views in my mind forever. It is also when the funniest things happen. Amazingly, curious sea creatures come to me, when other divers are out desperately looking for them. On such one dive, I was kneeling in the sand watching a big grouper at a cleaning station, when it felt as if someone was looking over my shoulder. I turned to see 3 dolphins calmly hanging vertically behind me, at arms reach, watching: watching me watch the fish. The curious look of, “What the heck is she looking at?” was on all 3 faces. If I ever drown on a dive, it will be from laughing too hard, or being so taken with the beauty: I simply forget to breathe.

 

This painting is available as a tile mural - customized to fit your wall space. Kiln-fired, ceramic tile murals may be installed indoor or out. (email for more info)

Archival Giclee prints are available framed or unframed. Six size options, several paper options, and you literally have thousands of combinations on the framing options. First click on my print shop at http://savanna.imagekind.com click on Galleries, and then click on Paintings.

You will see the Customize button by the image you've clicked/selected, click customize, you now have several options.

Six sizes to select from - I've ordered them all on various papers and canvas, but I love the larger sizes because it is closer to the size I painted. I like to feel like Alice in this piece - surrounded by blue and beautiful fish.

For the paper options; I like the Enhanced Matte - when I'm having to budget it.
And Somerset Velvet - when I'm doing a show (it's a heavier, thicker paper that looks great).
Both are nice, and both are archival. Just depends on the budget. 

If you would like canvas; this month special offer - 20% off the Large, Grande and Massive size canvas prints. The canvas is beautiful especially for an oil painting like this. I paint in smooth veils of color so it is hard to tell the original from a Giclee of this quality.  E-mail me for the discount - I'd need to process the order for you, using Visa or MC.

The framing offered here is very reasonably priced. I have not found a frames shop that beats it for custom work.  I have ordered all of my prints framed, with and without mats, both look good.  (Again, depends on the budget).

Shipping framed or unframed - is fast and reasonable via FedEx. You will have options of ground 3-5 days, 2nd day and overnight.
If you have any questions, or problems with this website navigation just let me know, I'm happy to help.
