Ernie the Shrimp
22 Dec 2020
Ernie is a large female amano shrimp, and is one of the key occupants of my aquarium.
The watercolour painting shows an amano shrimp painted in blues, purples, pinks and greens to represent the iridescence/ reflection seen in the original photograph.
The original photograph of the shrimpis shown on the left.
The photograph shows an amano shrimp, named Ernie, sitting on a piece of driftwood. The shrimp’s shell reflects the aquarium lights with a blue-purple iridescent sheen.
