Some fish are impressive. Tarpon are unforgettable. Known as the Silver King, they are powerful, ancient, and larger than life, capable of explosive leaps and long, punishing runs that leave even experienced anglers in awe. To encounter a tarpon is to feel the raw strength of the ocean itself.
 
I painted this piece to match that feeling—not at the size of a photograph or a memory, but at a scale that feels real. At eight feet long, this tarpon commands attention the way the fish does in the wild. The sweep of the body, the armor-like scales, and the immense head and jaw give it a presence that simply can’t be ignored.
 
This is a true statement piece. From across a large room, the form is striking and unmistakable; up close, the layers of color, texture, and subtle tonal shifts reveal the depth and life within the fish. It transforms a wall, turning a space into a place with a story—one that speaks of open water, patience, power, and the thrill of the pursuit.
 
This painting is for someone who doesn’t just want artwork on a wall—they want a centerpiece, a conversation starter, and a piece that defines the room around it.
