Description
I saw this anemonefish while scuba diving in Micronesia. He was trying to hide by concealing himself in the anemone. Suddenly, he stuck his head out to have a peek. I quickly snapped a photo of him. I used the photo to render this painting.

Thanks Peggy. I never tire of seeing the anemonefish. They can be shy yet playful. Before I moved from MI, I bought a dry suit for chilly Lake Michigan but didn't get a chance to use it before moving to Guam. Waters ar so warm here,83 degrees, and there is so much to see. I enjoy it. I appreciate your comments. :-)

Absolutely delightful! Love the straight-on perspective and you have captured it perfectly. I had to give up scuba about 10 years ago and truly miss it - even in our much blander Great Lakes!!

I appreciate your comment on colors Marsha. Under water anemone looks quite beige. I added a few layers of color on my own to spice it up a bit. I added blue to splash off the orange fish. This little guy was a baby, about 2 inches long, doing his best to hide from me. Thanks ladies!

Lisa, this could be my all time favorite. Absolutley fantastic job. Great repition of shapes, great value shifts, great color, fantastic lost and found edges, there is so much mystery and I can feel the movement of the water. This just rocks. Fantastic! I would think a series of these would be amazing.
