Original Oil Painting of a Tailing Redfish by Jackson L.

This is an original oil painting on canvas depicting the tail and dorsal fin of a Red Drum (Redfish) 'tailing' in shallow water. The artwork showcases a vibrant orange-gold palette for the fish's scales and fins, contrasting against a moody, deep-blue and grey undulating water surface. A prominent feature is the realistic depiction of the species' characteristic black ocellus (eye spot) on the caudal fin. The artist, signed as 'Jackson L.' in the lower right corner, has utilized a blend of impasto techniques for the textured scales and smooth glazing for the water's reflection. The piece is housed in a contemporary driftwood-style wooden frame with a weathered grey-brown finish, which complements the coastal subject matter. The craftsmanship exhibits high attention to biological detail, specifically in the translucency of the fin rays and the reflective quality of the submerged body. The painting appears to be in excellent condition with no visible signs of cracking, fading, or surface abrasions, likely dating from the late 20th to early 21st century. The style is representative of modern sporting art or coastal realism.
