There is almost a limitless number of Darter Species

in North America. They are around 2" and

hug the bottoms of rivers and streams.

My wife says they should be Caribbean Reef Fish

with their bright colors. I agree.

The making of 'Watercolor Study of Variegate Darter (Etheostma variatum)'

Final Version of 'Watercolor Study of a Variegate Darter (Etheostoma variatum)'

Transparent Watercolor on Crescent Mat Board.

Double matted on Identical Mat Board (Museum Quality)

Image Size: 9" x 4.5". Matted Size: 14" x 11".

A continuation of a series of darters found on the East Coast. This is the fourth

darter of the series. It is another colorful one- similar to the Rainbow Darter

but found a little farther west- in the Ohio River Drainage Waterways.

These small bottom huggers (Around 2 inches long) are one of my

favorite subjects. I love the various markings and especially

the bulldog faces with bugged out eyes.

I wanted to show another version of how a fish appears- like magic

on my paper.

I am enjoying creating a series of posters for sale
featuring my fish & dragonfly watercolor studies.
This one features some local freshwater daters.
They hang out on the bottom of lakes, rivers and
streams around Pennsylvania. You may not know them
as they are very small- and quick- hence the name.
