Bluefin Trevally Limited Edition Print

Bluefin Trevally, Caranx melampygus

This piece was inspired by a pair of Omilu I saw while snorkeling in Kona.  I was so struck by the blue color of their fins and their speed as they patrolled the reef drop offs.  So when I sat down to create the studies for this painting I started with fluorescent colors and the results were way off.  I studied my reference photos & studies for weeks and eventually realized how subtle the colors were, it was more the juxtaposition of the colors that made them pop.  With this observation I created the final piece which I think captures the both the subtle and the saturated colors of this beautiful creature.
