Barracudas are ferocious, opportunistic predators, relying on surprise and short bursts of speed, up to 27 mph to overtake their prey. Barracudas reside near the top of the water and near coral reefs and sea grasses. I was inspired to paint a Barracuda after being greeted each morning by the same one snorkeling off the coast of Cozumel, whom I named Barry. Original Oil on Canvas.
Each piece of my art has historical significance, so there is always a unique and fascinating story to tell about the painting. In today’s world of mass produced “sameness” there was a time when we created modes of transportation that were functional but also works of art. I take these unique and beautiful objects and place them where they were seen and shined in the past.
