Wow my friend, this is such a lovely image. The quasi-goldfish are great focal points and the soft serenity of the purples and blues. Excellent work. Cyn

Very beautiful abstract painting. I love the illusion of water and movement in the piece. Very nice job.

Fabulous creation, I just love this. The bubbles and fish are my favorite, can't stop looking at it, wish it were on my wall! Super contrasting colors, movement, great interests. Excellent work of art Moonwillow!;)

    Thank you so very very much, Wendy, for the beautiful comments, rating, and compliment. All are truly appreciated. Several people mentioned a shower curtain, which I thought was a great idea. I could go hog-wild decorating my bath around a fishy shower curtain, LOL. Again, thank you!! :)shawn
Comment from Anne


Wow you just do some of the most fascinating and beautiful works of art. The things you have in this and the way you have put them all together is awesome. The coloring is gorgeous. I like the way you have all the bubbles in this. The way you have different views of the fish is excellent. The shimmery look to the water is great. The depth you created is stunning. Just a very creative and exceptional work of art. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from avmurray


I had to comment on this because of the fantastic colors. I have convinced myself over the years that I don't like abstract art, but when I look at something like this, it is easy to change my mind. Even if this is abstract, and easily visualize an underwater world with colorful coral reefs and fish.

I am glad all the fish here are kept in golden hues, because this make them stand out so well. I also like the addition of the air bubbles.

In the background I find fine shapes and lines which remind me of the pattern often given by the waves at the surface, or rather all the way through the depth of water. It is a good harmony of colors in this work, and also good use of space. Beautiful work.

    I love it when I get such fabulous reviews from photographers :)
    Thank you ever so much, Annie!! I really know nothing about abstract, LOL. I just know that most of the time it's something you paint that really doesn't look like anything, but I couldn't bring myself to go that far. My niche is "halfway between fantasy and reality." Again, thank you!! :)shawn

Love the colors! Great composition. Skeletal fish are so interesting. What program did you use to create this?

    Thank you ever so much for the beautiful review and rating, Becky. Both are deeply appreciated. In answer to your question; I use Paint Shop Pro and part of the background was created in FraxPlorer. Again, thank you!! :)shawn
Comment from Mara del Mar


This is a beautiful work. Great use of filters, textures and great color/contrast. I like all over the golden bubbles and the forms of skeleton of fishes. Very well done. Good luck.
