This is a loose 2 hours painting I made for my girlfriend while she was away. I had to watch her betta fish and this is where the idea came from.
It's all done in acrylics.
Hope you like it.
EDIT: thanks a lot for the feature!

Could not hope for more perfections
We will stand, make this place our own
One day we will leave it behind
We will stand, make this place our own
And one day leave it all behind
There is a place
An isle of non-existence created by our drive to live
Somewhere other than reality
We must sacrifice to survive, others try to take and deprive
Live together, die alone
Created by our drive to live
Fight on until it's known, our purpose, our being here
Must be a sign to the path, to the path we must take
From the sky a black smoke engulfs our minds, our souls
We fight on until it is known, our purpose
This is the path
The path we must take. : Veil of Maya

I want bigger! :D
Great, great, and great. The fish is the first thing you look at, but there's so much more to it than that. It's amazing, really! It looks real in the way the colors and light make depht and the shapes creates an organic, underwater, fresh feel to it. :)
And your painting is skilled and marvelous. And I like the way you have these painting drops and the small spots with white, yellow and red, which I though was a great way to make this more dirty, and create contrasts, allthough it's not very clear.
The light is also superb, and the way the fish is wanting to go to the light (or what the heck it's doing) is cool. I though this was a really peaceful, different but beautiful picture. I would buy it to hang it on my wall. :)
Thanks! I really appreciate your comments. I tried to make it peaceful with the subject and the colors and at the same time dynamic with aggressive brush strokes and splatters. I'm glad you like it!

Hm! Very moody!
This looks more like the bottom of a swallow part of an exotic ocean
than a fish tank.
Unless she owns the ocean! lol.
Some nice effects in there for acrylics...
Nice image visually, but it does lack depth or meaning:
Then again i suppose its has personal value.
Well this is suppose to be in the ocean :) and yeah the value is personal between me and my girlfriend, but not everyone can find a meaning in everything. Thanks for your comment!
