Seattle Under Attack! Toss Me A Fish!

I came up with the idea to paint Seattle with a variety of sea creatures in the middle of the city. It started with the peaceful scene of downtown I painted early last summer. Then, last fall, I painted the Space Needle. Now, this:

Poor guy just wanted a fish! 

I started painting this at the end of 2013 and finally finished in March, right in time for the last Bemis Building Art Show. Before I started this piece, I had no idea that rendering architecture would be so challenging.  I literally spent hours painting the same line and angles over and over again, and I was extremely happy when that was finished.  

I told myself that I would not paint anymore architecture after that, but I've already got a few new pieces in the works...
