Please Release Me depicts a sailfish suspended beneath the ocean’s surface, its powerful form dissolving into liquid light. It’s a meditation on entanglement and impermanence, capturing the blurred threshold between control and surrender.
I painted this from a reference photo by Greg Salsberg of a sailfish brought up alongside a boat, its body still in the water except for the tip of its tail breaking the surface. It had fought hard. Billfish often don’t survive the fight, even after release. That tension between survival and surrender became the undercurrent of the painting.
The ocean here isn’t just a setting; it’s a collaborator. Light refracts and shatters. Water distorts and dissolves. The sail disintegrates into vibration, breaking apart into brush gestures, energy, and motion.
Please Release Me might be a plea from the fish. Or the painter. Or maybe it’s an invitation to the viewer: loosen your hold on certainty. There’s a strange grace in that letting go.

The greatest fish of all time… the awesome blue tuna. Worth researching to find out how magnificent a creation it really is. I was first introduced to this amazing fish through Carl Safina’s 1998 book “Song for the Blue Ocean” (click here). The author really opened my eyes in the very first chapters to see what a marvelous feat of engineering went into this powerhouse of a sea creature.

Source material for this painting was a black and white pic my uncle must have taken of my dad when they were down on a fishing trip in the Everglades. They’d go to Everglades City and launch their boat and head out into the mangroves on the hunt for snook. I came home from elementary school one day and my mom took me up to her bedroom, and sat me down, and told me that the Coast Guard was out in the Everglades looking for my dad because she hadn’t heard from him since yesterday. Not to worry, they found him.
My brother and I were out there once with him. It started pouring down rain so we headed on in over some flats. We heard this loud whistling sound over the wind – the shallow sand had kicked the engine up, it was running dry, and the noise was the alarm sounding. So, of course, the engine died before we figured it out. We sat out there in the middle of the bay in the middle of NOWHERE outside of radio range. It was cold and raining hard and we were stuck. Fortunately, some fishermen came by and were nice enough to tow us a couple of hours back into Everglades City. They wouldn’t take any money, but Dad bought them a case of beer. Those were the days…

Mahi mahi run these waters fast, and they never stay one color for long. Gold, green, blue, electric — all of it shifting as they move, like the light can’t decide what to do with them.
And yes, they’re good eating. But that’s not why I painted one. I wanted to catch that flash — the color that’s here and gone in the same second — and hold onto it a little longer than the ocean lets you.
They grow quicker than almost anything in the ocean. A fish you’d barely notice in spring is a yard long by fall.

Picture yourself thirty feet underwater in the middle of a jack ball. That’s where you should be standing when you view this painting — not on the surface, not at a safe distance, but right there in the middle of it, as horse-eyed jacks circle up from the deep chasing bait in that ancient, hypnotic formation.
Inspired by an underwater photo by Jay Freeman, who captured something most of us never get to see or feel — the sensation of being inside the school, surrounded by silver motion, completely immersed in a world that runs on its own rules.

Poster for Stuart/Martin County Arts Fest 2004. I figured, since Stuart is the “Sailfish capital of the World”, why not paint a sailfish for the contest? Chart of the Manatee Pocket under his nose.
