Hot and Cold Fish / Oct

Experimenting again with different compositions for these fish. Also, in these I decided to play a bit with the colours. Hot and cold colours specifically. Im not sticking to the natural colours of the fish at all, so they are more fantastic.

After a long summer of humming and hawing, I have finally finished the seventh of my large paintings. This is the 4th in the Pop Series.

Art Cards / Aug - Sept

I started this series of Koi Fish during the summer. We have an outdoor pond and it was a huge inspiration for me. There is something quite calming, and hypnotic about watching the fish swim.

I have lots of happy emotions tied up in these fish. :)
