Fish art

in esteem •  6 years ago 

This brightly colored mural was part of a special exhibit at the Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium in Dubuque, Iowa. With or without the grandkids this is a wonderful experience.

The fish are so ornamental
most museums don't have all this color.. at least from what I remember .. haha!

This is an extraordinary exhibition as you say, it looks good. Have a nice day :)

😍😍😍 All the pictures looks amazing. This us a wonderful museum. Have a good day dear Melinda

Buenos día. Bello post. Las fotos tienen vista . Bella colección.

Looks like a nice place for a day out. These fish are very stylized but having said that many fish are pretty odd looking :-)
Check this guy :) What's that snout all about? ha ha

I believe this was part of a special exhibit about the Amazon. 'There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of ....’ Although maybe it is imaginary? I do not know!

There are some pretty incredible creatures in the Amazon. I wouldn't be surprised if these are all based on real fish.
Have you heard of the Boto? It's a pink river dolphin that lives in the Amazon. :-)

I have seen that dolphin on tv documentaries, but I had forgotten what they were called. I tried to look up what a fish with tentacles around its mouth might be called, but I didn't come up with anything.

Is the mural painted @melinda010100? It looks three dimensional? 😊

It is painted, and if I remember right it was painted onto the wall, rather than onto a big canvas. The hallway that it was in was narrow, and made it impossible to get a shot of the entire wall of fish, so I had to take photos of segments.

a beautiful work of art, hopefully the contest is smooth

Thanks for sharing Melinda! I don't always think of trout and such as being "pretty" but these sure are ;)

I think these were representative of fish in the Amazon. Pretty diverse and colorful selection, right?

Very cool artwork. My kids and wife have been to Dubuque several times but I never got to make the trip. Guess what for...junior hockey tryouts haha That was a lot of our travel while the kids were growing up
