Watercolor Paintings of Bahamian Fish

"When painting these creatures, I become ever more aware of how and why their 'parts' all fit together - their form, design, patterns and color. I think that in the end, my exhilaration comes from not so much the painting, but from 'really' seeing and realizing the perfection of the overall design."

— John Soward, artist

John is also a collector and painter of sea shells and an admirer of one of the world's experts on conchology, Guido Poppe. See his website here.
