Reef Art

[John Bolden]

Most of us have reef tanks and we show them off here but what we don't see very often is reef art. So lets see that art!

Color pencil drawing by me in high school.

I recently went to the Peace River Sculpture and Botanical Gardens in Punta Gorda, FL. They had a display of paintings by a local artist. I took some pictures which are below. The pictures do not do the colors of the paintings justice.
Enjoy!

Very cool I like the coloration of the eel! That must have taken forever.

I've seen those before. Whoever does those does such a good job with them. I couldn't imagine the effort it takes to make those

I did a stippling drawing of Abraham Lincoln and if you don't know stippling it's just a bunch of dots but the drawing took me 10 hours more or less.

That’s insane. The eels took about four to five hours each. I also do paintings of landscapes but they take much longer.

It's awesome to see everyone showcasing their reef tanks here. But you're right. Reef art is something we don't see very often. It would be really cool to incorporate some reef-inspired artwork into our living spaces. I've been on the hunt for unique wall art myself to spruce up my new place. While browsing online, I stumbled upon one website that offers a wide selection of abstract wall art. They have some pieces that are truly captivating and could add a touch of marine beauty to any room. If you're interested in exploring more options, you should check out their Abstract Wall Art collection at https://www.artworks.ae/Abstract-Wall-Art/

I've made a dozen or so coral sculptures over the years, some for local reefers and two for folks on R2R. It's been a while since I've made one though...
