#200 Fish

#200Fish is an art project whose objective is to raise awareness of the biodiversity of the North Sea. There are about 200 species of fish native to the North Sea. This project is to record their existence through works of art. Mindful of the threats to the marine environment, global warming, ocean acidification, pollution, over-fishing and so on, we are inviting a large number of artists each to pick one of the fish species and produce a painting or other art-work therefrom. Although not my usual subect matter I am pleased to be invited to take part. I chose Fish no. 174 Callionymus reticulatus aka Reticulated dragonet
