Lionfish

I dreamt about owning different small scale aquariums, though in the dream the fish it contained weren't realistic. The lionfish in my mind actually had the head of a real lion! Regardless of how far off my imagination took the dream I woke up to research an actual lionfish; I made this sketch from one of the photos I found and I'm pretty sure a painting of a different view of one will follow... Going in the direction of realism meets abstract by nature seems to be a fun one to follow, could be where my love of water stems from.
