Rainbow Cale

(Heteroscarus acroptilus) Population; All Good $250. 40 x 50 cm. Acrylic Brush and Pen on Canvas. I swum alone to the northern side of Port Noarlunga Jetty that I don’t normally visit. I pushed down deeper and noticed a slender green fish perched atop a spire of bulky sea grass. As I hovered closer his red eye looked straight into mine and he proudly flared sharp, intimidating green spines that revealed a galaxy of blue and orange sparkles across its emerald body. A real life rainbow fish!
