The title of this painting, Pas de Deux (dance of two, a ballet term for a dance with only two performers), is derived from the fact that Reticulated Butterflyfish almost always travel in pairs and are believed to mate for life. Inspired by a close-up encounter Alex had with a pair of these butterflyfish while diving, the painting evokes the sense of harmony and balance in our natural environment. This painting is one of the best examples of Alex's use of traditional watercolor techniques. The Pas de Deux Giclee is available on archival watercolor paper the same type of paper that he used for the original painting.
