Artist’s notes:
The pair of Blue or Common Discus Fish drawing was completed on March 27th, 2009. I had been visiting the Steinhardt Aquarium in it’s temporary location on Howard Street in San Francisco (it’s now in it’s permanent location at the new California Academy of Sciences ) and I did some sketches of a Discus Fish. Years later I found the sketches and some photos and decided to make a drawing of these wonderful fish. I don’t often get to draw blue animals, which are uncommon, so it was a lot of fun to draw this pair.
