ITS AN ARTIFICIAL UNDERWATER SCENE OF A LARGE MOUTH BASS GETTING READY TO FEED ON HIS FAVORITE FOOD.... CRAWFISH.....OR YOU CAN CALL IT A 3D ARTIFICIAL SCENE........... MAJOR LABOR INTENSIVE ...................... THAKS FOR THE COMMENT ! JON'RICK

Artist Reply: THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT..... BY THE WAY ITS NOT A PHOTO..... ITS A 3 D SCULPTURE

Artist Reply: OK JOANIE, ............. LET ME CLARIFY THIS ARTWORK ............... HERES WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT ......... ITS A MIX OF MEDIUMS AND ART......THE FISH IS PARTLY SCULPTED AND PARTLY MOLDED FROM A REAL FISH....... THEN VARIOUS OTHER WORK AND PAINTING BY AIR BRUSH...AND REGULAR BRUSH.......THE REEDS ARE REAL BUT ARE PRESERVED AND PAINTED THE CORRECT SHADE OF COLORS AND WHAT LOOKS LIKE MOSS IS PLACED IN VARIOUS PLACES ON EACH PLANT.....THE BOTTOM IS NOT DIRT BUT RAILROAD DUST GLUED TO A FOAM BOTTOM ....THE CRAWDAD IS REAL ......PRESERVED BY LETTING AN ANT HILL EAT HIM AFTER HE WAS DEAD YOU THEN HAVE TO PAINT HIM CORRECTLY AND PUT HIM BACK TOGETHER AGAIN BECAUSE THE ANTS EAT EVERYTHING THAT HOLDS HIM TOGETHER.....NOW YOU KNOW HOW ITS DONE............ ! ITS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT SOUNDS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO REPLICATE AN UNDERWATER SCENE THAT IS ACCURATE IN EVERY WAY OR IT WON'T FOOL THE CAMERA........ YES ITS LABOR INTENSIVE AND NO YOU CAN'T BE TAUGHT THIS IN ANY ART SCHOOL THAT I KNOW FOR A FACT ! ................... CALL ME IF YOU WANT MORE INFO ...JON'RICK 949--3096--5664
