The Blue and Yellow Pualu (surgeonfish) Fish Story

 Aloha from the island of Kauai, my favorite outer island, nice place to go to get away from the city of Honolulu~ Snorkeling at Lydgate park yesterday, I saw these cool, blue and yellow Pualu reef fish, there were a whole bunch of them together because a kid was feeding them in the water. Not sure what kind of fish specifically (anyone know?) but it is the inspiration for my next painting. The fish really was that blue and the ocean was unusually clear, lucky I live Hawaii, trying to share the aloha to you!
