  • I saw this photo by the amazing Andrew Fox on Instagram. But what caught my attention wasn't so much the shark, but the way the water played around him. The reflections, the light breaking through, how the bubbles escaped his gills. And I absolutely had to recreate it. I contacted the photographer and he was pleased to hear his work was so widely admired (he's from Australia) and, of course, gave me permission to recreate it. And I'm pleased to say the results brought me to a new level in painting.
