Leafy Sea Dragon:

Beautiful kin of sea horses. I’ve wanted to do one for a very long time but being rare there were very few photos available, fewer that were good references to work from and of those, fewer still where I could find out who photographed it. Luckily for me, I saw a gorgeous photography that was not only of a Leafy Sea Dragon but it was a male carrying eggs in his brood pouch. I contacted the Paul Langley, an underwater photographer from Australia, and he graciously allowed me to use his photo. I’ve painted this as an 18×24 inch pastel on dark gray PastelMat. The original is currently framed.  Of course, various sized prints are available even after the original sells.
