La Pedrada de Noemi Artwork 2
This acrylic on gessobord is quite small - only 5x7" - and purposefully awkward. To me it's simultaneously uncomfortable and amusing. The subject is a redlip or horseface blenny, Ophioblennius atlanticus. I'm titling it Stage Left. This painting also uses iridescent gold in both the background and the eyes, so it too is more arresting in person than in photo.
