Viola !

Fish for fun, two painted fish, marine art ?!

Double Fish
These fish which I wish,  make you to smile, will go for auction by and on behalf of The Fisherman’s Mission, a registered charity, patron H M The Queen.
The like each other so rather hope to be sold as a pair.
I feel honoured to be included in this event, alongside 99 well known celebrities asked to paint a fish.
 
I’ve chosen ‘camouflage evolution’ as their theme.

First I added a vertical tail fin to each creature because as far as i know, all fish have vertical tail fins, mammals have horizontal tail fins…
Fish, Dazzle Camouflage
The brightly coloured fish is attempting to use ‘Dazzle Camouflage’, a scheme designed to make assessing the size, shape, speed and direction of the animal more difficult to assess thus improving its chances of evading predictors.
Fish, Bar Code Camouflage
My other fish has a ‘Bar Code’ camouflage designed to confuse supermarket check out tills.
 
Next is to varnish the pair then sign the base of each before getting them safely to England.
