The Mullet Run

Well!!!! I am a mad keen fisherman. I have just gotten home from fishing and decided to post this new art work.
The influence behind this piece is the fact that at this time of year the Mullet Fish all run out to sea to spawn. Hence the name " The Mullet Run "
For us fishermen it is a good time to fish as the BIG fish come close to shore to snack on all these mullet.

Now the painting.... It is congested with the shapes of fish in random directions. This is what happens with mullet when they are mulling around waiting to mate.
The colour ---- Orange. As the female fish are ready to spawn their bellies are swollen with eggs and the underside is a pale orange. The male fish are just silvery white.

This painting is 91 cm wide 122 cm high and 4 cm deep.
It is wired ready to hang and it is finished in a gloss varnish. The edges are completely painted so an external frame is your option.
On the back is a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
