Description
Seaweed for fantasy fish. This food is tripping over itself to get to a fish in need. Prized by novice and collector alike you will not be disappointed when you try the edible ocean varieties.
Banned in many parts of the ocean for being entirely too much fun, this weed is in high demand. Grown only in the remote regions of the fantasy algae fields, you will need plenty of colorful coins to partake of this special treat.
This painting started as a photograph of a piece of glass artwork created by Garth Mudge of Glassworks in Winthrop, Wa. It was taken with a Macro lens and is a very small section of the overall object. The colors are vivid and alive due to the way that I am illuminating the glass art as I am taking the picture. In a way I am photographing the light as it passes through the object.
In this particular photograph I have gone in by hand and painted over the original image. Adding my own textures and visions to the shapes and colors I started with.
I have been a professional photographer for many years but it is only recently that I have been photographing glass at any level. It is such an exciting experience to discover these images. I almost feel like an archeologist as I explore a small hidden word and reveal the treasures within.
