THE FISH



Oh goodness- the fish. I just finished up this piece last week. I started this piece after a family reunion where one of my 150 cousins, Trevor and his brother Blaine caught these huge slimy beautiful fish in the "Bluehole" - as we call it. It had been on a board for almost a year and I decided to take some time and hand-embellish the monotype. I think I embellished / painted on top more than I usually do, BUT I got a great dry brush effect on the top layers for the highlights. I really am happy with the way it turned out and even took it to the framer...it will also be in my gallery space at Artists at Work next week. So exciting!
