This scientifically accurate watercolor painting captures the bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) in lateral profile, emphasizing its spiny dorsal fin, speckled olive-green body, bright orange ventral region, and striking blue operculum. The artist’s precise brushwork renders scale texture and fin translucency, making it both aesthetically compelling and biologically informative. Signed by Jan Spangler, the piece blends natural history illustration with fine art tradition.
