Marlin Frenzy
This is an oil painting of three Marlins coming in for the kill. Numerous Mahi Mahi (also called Dolphin Fish or Dorado) are trying to get away from them by jumping out of the water or swimming deeper into the sea. Dolphin mammals are approaching from afar to hunt the Mahi Mahi also. Bait fish are everywhere. This is a square painting that measures 40 x 40. The square format required a different kind of layout. The elements were put into very geometric forms. I used the shape of the triangle to position the Marlins, one is coming from below and two from each side. The Mahi Mahi form a triangle going in the opposite direction. It is a pure fantasy of ocean life hunting its prey. A frenzy of activity in the sea!
