Comment: This is my favorite painting. It is a testament to the beauty of the underwater realm and the diversity of life. Pictured is a miscellany of oceanic organisms, including clownfish, butterflyfish, angelfish, damsels, triggerfish, tangs, sardines, cavale, dolphins, rays, clams, brain-corals, acropora-corals, sponges, anemones, mushroom-corals, fan-corals, polyps, ridged-corals, tubeworms, and much more. An entire eco-system is portrayed in rich, vibrant color, communicating the warm vivacity that is the essence of life. Each species was researched and documented before any preliminary sketches were done, to insure the accuracy of the scene and habitat.

such a marvelous painting.
It shows the true beauty and nature of the deep blue sea.
I could gaze and stare in awe at this painting for hours.
The colors are so vibrant and bright. It is a miracle to behold in the human eye.
Well done.

I looks like a C.S. Lassen rip off. It's horrible how you can steal someones art and then get rewarded for it.
I'd love for you to take a picture showing the canvas to prove that it's not a rip off.

I know this is a very late comment, you posted in 2007 after all.
I know this artist personally, I watched him paint this paining in my garage as a matter of fact. It is no rip off. I know him through my brother, Eric.

Beautiful. It's hard to use oils without them looking muddy, but these colours are so vibrant.
And the detail is amazing.
The picture is what I would have liked to have done for a mural I painted on my nephew's wall this summer when I visited my family in Ontario. But I my visit was only a week long so I ran out of time.

I had about 80 folders in middle school with this exact scene on it. So I basically adore this piece.

Spelndid! My father has a 425 gallon aquarium, so I'm no stranger to fish, these are painted with astounding accuracy! Really makes you feel like your under water. Great job.

The concept isn't original, but the spin he put on it, is quite striking. He did paint it himself though, I know him personally after all.

I actually, believe them. 
The other painting that is similar to this in this artists gallery is signed very differently and it is very hard to get modified prints that large.
probably referanced and/or inspired, but I believe it's original.
lol sorry for the long comment.
