"Oscillations"
Oil
on Canvas
Painted October, 1999.
The tautog is also called blackfish and oysterfish because
of its dark coloration
and its buck teeth which are capable of cracking oyster shells.
It is most common in the greater New York region north to Cape Cod and south
to Delaware.
This fish is much sought and commercially valuable.
