This is a recently finished painting that evolved from my notebook first sketched out years ago. I am interested in the migration and life cycle of salmon, an interest that goes back to my studies as a fisheries biologist. It also incorporates the form of a fish fossil that I sculpted from heavy molding paste. The photograph was printed on canvas, it's of a fresh sea run pink salmon caught in Alaska. The fossil depicts the end of the salmons long journey upstream to reproduce and die and return to it's origins.
Here is the detail of the sculpted skeleton of the salmon.Photograph on Canvas
