reintroduction

Hi I'm Ligus,

I'm a traditional artist from Berlin.
#SundayFishSketch made me start painting again and I fell in love with fish and marine biology.
I'm also trying to boost other #sciart .
Sometimes there will be some dog and crow posts ;)
Oil painting before I stopped painting again. Giant "floating" shark behind people who are just walking or cycling. All those people are from science history (besides the silver ants lol) Red necked grebe commission They are sitting on their nest. On their back is one chick, the other is hiding behind them. watercolour Black Tetra watercolour, sideview One of my first commissions be a friend 3 framed paintings and one paintings in process. A scallop, an eel, a dino and a sea horse in process. Mostly watercolour.

The rockfish begin again....
Or at least the studies do.

Respectfully submitted for your approval, the completed oil painting on Gallery Wrap Canvas, 24” x 36” “The Illusion of Still Water” aka “The Beast”😜😝 #stunday #art #artyear #artadventcalender #artshare #eastcoastkin #blueskyart #fineart #botanicalart Please read alt text 🙏😃
Oil painting of a Water garden. The water is calm and flat acting like a mirror and reflecting the deep blue hues & Cirrus Clouds of the sky and surrounding plant life. There are deep Rose Violet Water Lilies stand proud out of the water. There are massive Water Lilly Pads a flout while other plant life is partially submerged. The viewer can look down through the thinly veiled reflections and see the multi-colored stones and plant roots and runners. Behind the largest Water Lilly Pad is massive greenery of Water Pond Plants of various species. This painting is about reflecting upon the beauty that Planet Ocean offers us, as well as our own lives. We all come to the end of another year and what beautiful things Artist can create and offer to Humanity. Art is an extension of the Artist, the Artist always is and always will be, “the art”. Peace ☮️ Love❤️💕 and Happiness 😃

Ich hab mich so gefreut - Danke nochmal!!!

If a “little toy doll(y) that toddles and coos” is on your list, Salmonid Claus is definitely going to deliver on Day 21 of #25DaysofFishmas!

We end the northwest leg of our road trip with the Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma), a brightly colored fish + this week’s #SundayFishSketch mystery species!

Totally would buy a bag or socks from Debbie if I had money or lived in the US.

And with a purchase you support vet bills 💚

This is a scene that came to me in a dream. After spending years working in the Financial District, it's no surprise I dream of nature undermining business's hold on our lives. Go whales go!

Large painting, 36x40, Oil on wood panel. Looking down into the intersection of Bay and Front Streets in Toronto. The Dominion Building on the left, Union Station on the right, grey highrise offices in the distance. The centre of Bay St gives way to deep water and a pod of white beluga whales swim below the surface into the intersection.

Someone wanting my art in their home is the best compliment 🥰

This was a Christmas #SundayFishSketch from last year.

The Christmas cactus in the post below is handmade pottery 👇. So cute 🌵.

Been a while but here's a cardinal tetra for #SundayFishSketch
I'm not fishy enough to do the fishmas clues I'm afraid.
I also wanted to do a blue grenadier but couldn't find a good ref
