Inspiration Avenue: Tropical


This week's theme at Inspiration Avenue  is "tropical" and I immediately thought of fish. For me fish are a symbol for joyful play (don't really know why) - so I just covered a 5x5 canvas (seems to be my favorite size at the moment) with some acrylic paints and punched and cut out fish - voilá! I just played around and had a lot of fun!

    Great piece. The ocean and fish are a tropical treat. Love your fish, really like the little guy on the bottom. The background is great color and it makes all your fishes pop. Lovely piece.

    I love the yellow fish in the middle row, with the most amazing eye!

    It looks like fun and I can feel them swimming in the water between the sea weeds. Love all the color and brightness of it. WELL DONE!
