No real meaning here. It's open to interpretation. Just getting back into real paint after a couple of years haitus. This is done with acrylics on illustration board and took about 2 months of sparadic attention - not a lot of free time on my hands. Speakin of which, the hands in this image are a bit too redish. In hindsight the spiral background probably wasn't the best choice, but I saw the reference image I used of it in a magazine and had to paint it. I hope to be posting more paintings come the summer months. Enjoy. <<crawls back under rock>>

Careful with your value range. The background is coming forward more than the figure.

Thanks Elwell. I did notice that the shadows on the big fish weren't as deep as the rest of the image. I guess the background really brings that out.
