I created Nice Catch as part of my 'undersea' phase. I wanted to have a bit of fun with a painting and create something that "bent" your brain a little.
This small canvas depicts an undersea scene but with a difference. The silver fish are looking at a large fishing hook that has somehow caught the bottom of the canvas and ripped it upwards so you can see the stretcher frame underneath. It's a bit of fun that creates an optical illusion, a bit of a brain twister and a trompe-l'œil. The painting wraps around the edges to keep the illusion going.
This would make a fun addition to any room or perhaps even an aquarium store, a fishing supplies shop or a ship's chandler.
Like most of my paintings, this one has some glitter in it, this time with the silver fish and in a few other spots. See if you can find it!
