We got to see it in person, and it is absolutely mind blowing! I LOVE the seahorse and the puffer!

That really looks amazing! Would your wife mind sharing some details about what kind of paints she used? I did am ural once in my dorm at college but used a paint that was VERY hard to paint over (oops) and just loooove seeing artistic stuff like this.

Most excellent!!! My tank isn't great but its got a lot of characters in it if she'd ever want to do something fun with lots of little gobies and what not

the paint she used is apple barrel acrylic paint from walmart. it's cheap like .43 cents for a 8oz tube. very easy to paint over if you use primer before. and i'll let ypu know when she wants to do a real tank shot.

Incredible and awesome work! Wow! I think she may have a new business idea there! You know I think it's Wyland who paints fish art and makes zillions from it. He started by painting walls too. ;-)
