“Shhhh” with fish!

"Shhhhh" with fish

I am beginning to think this drawing may work after all!  I really like the way it’s pulling together with the appearance of the fish.  The three fish on the left are complete.  The one on the upper right is not yet finished, but it is worked on enough to include it in this photo.  I will be finishing it and the other two fish, and then working on the message banner last.

  1. Fish! This drawing makes me smile Debbi.

  4. You are too funny! It took me a moment to realize what you meant. . .

  5. You’d think the fish wouldn’t have to be told such a thing

  6. Well, in this world one never knows!!!! Remember the inappropriateness of the guy in the Bedouin restaurant?

  7. Well, you know the old saying, “quiet as a fish.” Hey Debbi, this is really coming together with the addition of the fish. Excellent work as always.

  8. Deb, this is looking great. I especially love the fish just behind the right hand end of the taped message!Looking forward to its completion!

  9. Yes, Gary, I love that saying (!?!) I’m glad you think the fish are helping to pull it together as well. I was getting concerned.

    Kathy – I love that fish as well. How is your dolphin drawing coming along? I’ve thought about it several times since our last meeting.

  10. Debbi,

    This piece is beautiful. I love the warmth and the way the aquatic plant leads your eye up towards the subject while the sign keeps your focus centered. This was very well thought out! Kudos to you, dear lady!

  11. Thanks Chantell. I am very curious about what you mean when you say “warmth”. I also like the way one’s eye is led around the piece by the plants and fish, but I hadn’t felt much warmth. I always love it when you drop by and comment. :)

  12. Well, when I say “warmth”, it’s usually a combination of the warmth of the subject matter. Quaint. Inviting. But also it’s in regard to color. I’m a big fan of warmth!
