Very good colours and almost a kolidescope effect at the angle you have chosen of thos puffer fisg. At first I thought it a sea anenome. I once saw a giant one of these that had been captured in a net. Amazing but very flat and round from a side view.

    Thank you for your time in looking and your comments.That dark blue almost black background helps him move towards the observer. Be safe

I have to confess that my first thought was NOT puffer fish, but this is an excellent rendering. I like the abundance of spikes and the unusual angle at which you painted this creature. The colors are fitting for the environment of a puffer fish.

Such a dramatic in your face work of art Lucien. I like the sharp angles and the combination of colors adds great emphasis to the initial impact of the work.

The background is particularly effective in bringing out the Puffer is sharp relief. Well done Lucien ~ Steve

This is a beautiful painting of the puffer fish, awesome attention to the details. Wonderful use and application of the colors and tones, it comes forward from the dark background in a powerful way. Well arranged and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

This is an interesting painting! I really like the colors you chose. I've only seen brown puffers. Yours is much more interesting! The detail in the spikes really draws your eyes into the painting and the dark background makes it pop! Nice job!

Beautiful work! Great attention to detail and contrast of color. Well done. I feel as if I have come face to face with a puffer while snorkeling.

A very well done application of acrylic on canvas.The skilful technique you have used on the individual spikes is impressive all round and the depth of tones is excellent.I applaud you on this painting for sure

    Neil,
    thank you for your time in looking and leaving me your thoughts on the piece, it is appreciated. Yes, I think the background helps push the fish towards the observer as that was the intent. The spikes took awhile to get correct.
    Take care and be safe.

Comment from mamamary


This is beautiful. I like the use of the black background. The colors you have chosen are in my favorites category. It almost looks like this could be a parody of the Corona Virus using different colors. When did you draw this?

Very cool. The details is excellent. The unique body form and language is great. The depth is great. The shading and highlight is excellent. The blend of the colors is great. The creation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Creative and awesome work overall (clapping)
