Living on the Gulf Coast of Florida we have direct access to some of the best fishing in the region. These paintings are inspired by a library of photos captured by Ashton during offshore fishing trips. Using an underwater camera housing, this allows him to capture great details of light and water for his marine wildlife paintings.
The "Fish Bone" series is a unique collection of original paintings and limited edition prints on canvas, both hand textured with a matte medium to create a 3D raised effect on the surface. Several layers of acrylic colors and mediums are painted onto the canvas inspired by each fish; the colors, the lighting, reflections, using abstract impressions that represent these elements.
