Before I started paying attention to his work, I thought that fish were rather boring (silly me!). I am constantly amazed at fishpainter/senol's ability to embue every fish he paints with personality and uniqueness; not only does he represent his subjects well, he delights the viewer with fabulous colors, movement, and a thoroughly painterly approach.
