I've always enjoyed Henri Matisse's goldfish bowl paintings and thought I should take a stab at one. But first I needed some goldfish. So I went out and bought four of the little suckers for 40 cents. Well, after spending $30 on a bowl and other supplies, I had my goldfish. This is a scene from my studio, which has the most amazing light all day long. The style is definitely more impressionistic than anything I've done before. One thing I've noticed is, goldfish sure crap a lot!
My love of the arts began early on in life and was greatly influenced by an inspiring photography teacher in high school. I began teaching myself to paint in 2019 and have had my work exhibited in numerous shows in the Detroit area. One of the joys of being an artist is looking at the world in totally different ways and discovering a painting or photograph in a million unexpected places. For inquiries: dominmark@yahoo.com

This is amazing! I love the way you painted the fishbowl and goldfish -- better yet, I love the fact that you bought some goldfish so they can model for you. LOL. I had a goldfish for 8.5 years before it died. The trick is, if they start floating, feed them a little table salt and they'll be as good as new! :)
