Tribute by Whale Fanatic
"From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to the earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free."
-Jacques Y. Cousteau
Just a fun painting dedicated to one of the most revolutionary ocean explorers of all time, as today was his birthday. ^-^ May he rest in peace. Species depicted: Green mandarinfish, or dragonet, Synchiropus splendidus. #ocean #fish #underwater #bubbles #quote #colorful #abstract (referring to the fish's markings)

Thank you so much, Fady! :D I had a lot of fun painting this and learned so much while doing so. ^-^ Yeah, dragonets are so gorgeous! They're among my favorite Perciformes (perch-like fish).
