“Tarpon Time”
18-in X 24-in X 2-in
acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
Dec. 2024
Tarpon Time is an original 18" x 24" acrylic painting on gallery-wrapped canvas that captures the legendary strength, poise, and prehistoric majesty of the Atlantic tarpon. Known to coastal anglers as the "Silver King," the tarpon is portrayed in full profile, rendered in luminous shades of cobalt, cerulean, periwinkle, and iridescent silver.
The fish floats against an ethereal, tone-on-tone background layered with thick impasto texture, flowing curved grooves, and subtle ghosted sea-fern and palm frond silhouettes. Meticulous line work outlines each broad, plate-like scale, while the sculpted gill plates and alert golden-amber eye give the fish life and commanding presence. Balancing modern coastal minimalism with expressive wildlife folk art, this original piece is a refined focal point for fly-fishing anglers, saltwater enthusiasts, and contemporary art collectors.
