Fishing Permit, Stealth Variety


FishingPermit.jpg

My son asked me to paint a picture of a permit for him. I assumed he meant a fishing permit until he informed me that a permit is a type of fish somewhat like a pompano. Fishing friends provided permit photos, but I thought that there was something just a little too boring about painting only the fish. Since they eat fingerling mullet which are by nature vegetarian permits must resort to other tricks to catch supper. This permit uses hypnosis and sonar to lure the unwary mini-mullets. If you check the weeds to the right in the image you'll see a primate hiding there, and he, of course, is a sea monkey---monkey sea, monkey dew (a new highly caffeinated but tasty beverage). 




More paintings will follow the close of my show. I don't want to reveal all the images now, or no one will come to the show.
