Lighthouse Reef – Caribbean Coral Reef Painting – Archival Fine Art Print
Lighthouse Reef
A few of my favorite Caribbean reef fish star in this piece: a Stoplight Parrotfish, a Juvenal Wrasse, and a brilliant Yellow-tailed Damsel swimming with other tropical reef fish through a lush forest of bright corals and sponges. I love the natural light that sparkles through the gin-clear water on a bright Caribbean day. I try to memorize a reef scene in the same way I would look at it while drawing, observing every detail, shadow, and sparkle of light as I put my pen to paper — but it all happens in my mind. Because of this focused observation of every little thing, I make a crap dive buddy.
- This is a dreamed scene — not from a photo, divers will notice. :)
- Lighthouse Reef is off the coast of Belize.
- My original painting: 4’ x 5’ - oil on canvas

Giclee Prints are exceptional is in the area of achivability and color accuracy. Great attention has been given to the formulation of the inks so they can display a much wider color gamut than other forms of printing. At the same time, the inks have been engineered to last a lifetime if not longer. The media itself also plays a role. Acid-free, archival media either on a cotton or alpha-cellulose base tends to be the most common materials used. This further ensures the inks will not fade and the paper will not be as easily yellow as with other types of papers.
