Geaux Fish Exhibit: First mural section

This Spring, I painted several murals for the new Geaux Fish exhibit at the Aquarium.  Here is the first section of several I painted for that area.  This represents the open water of Lake Pontchartrain slowly turning into Lake Maurepas on its northen side.  From the corner on, the trees grow more dense.  The challenge they presented me was to paint it from a persepective where you could see all the top of every tree- not have them cropped out as they might be in a photograph.   There middle section of the shorter wall has brackets where a game monitor is now placed.
