Spanish Window Coral Reef

This painting took several years to develop and finally took on a warmwhite and ice blue color combination. It was exhibited at LaSelles Stewart Center in June 2007 and later at Sam's Station in Corvallis, Oregon in January 2008.
I was stretching trying to compare Spanish glass windows with looking down into coral reefs seeing the depths of the Pacific Ocean and getting a glimpse of tropical fish as they swam out and then back into hiding.
