Messinian Spa Conditioner (For All Hair Types) Painting

It's a feeling I experienced once swimming in the sea next to a small Greek stone village somewhere in Peloponnese. The sun was setting behind the mountain and I took my goggles to snorkel a bit. I'm not much of a swimmer and I also can't hold my breath for too long, but I went underwater. I saw a scene I will never forget, it burned in my subconscious. The rays of the setting sun were lighting the water on fire in beautiful calm beams and the fish... oh the fish. They were half asleep, apparently, it was exactly that time of day. So there they were all swimming, but differently. More floating than swimming. They were all tilted a bit with their heads pointing downward like they were performing some sort of ritual. It was magical and this moment with the perfect lighting lasted for about a couple of minutes and then it was gone. I never saw that again, I also never saw the tilted fish ever again. But then something else happened, too. After leaving the water I washed my hair and put some lotion I bought there locally and the scent of the lotion burned together with this memory. I brought that bottle home and put it in my treasure chest. Because of the Proustian magic, I can remember the feeling every time I open the bottle and smell it. And this is how this painting was made. With my eyes closed and the bottle of Messinian Spa Conditioner under my nose.
