These fish are just incredibly fun to paint. I don't believe I'll ever get tired of them! These lionfish are an invasive species on our Coast and have become an income for some divers that are catching and bringing them to restaurants. I have yet to eat one but I hear they're delicious! They are poisonous, but I've heard it's not much worse than a rather bad bee sting. The problem with these fish is that the divers can clean a reef, and then the entire reef will be covered with them again the next day. The reason for this is because these fish can dive much deeper than the divers, therefore hiding them in plain sight!
