Another Fishy


Another fishy, originally uploaded by diahn.


This is another fish block print that I've painted. I started out using gouache in the background, but it really wasn't working for me, so I sprayed the whole surface of the paper and just dropped in acrylic ink here and there.

I've been a bit absent, lately, I know. I finally got my braces on, and I've been trying to adjust to them. It's been a little less than a week, now, and I am starting to feel human again, although I sound a bit strange, I think. In any case - I've go two years of this coming up, so I'll have to figure a way to deal with it, now won't I?

On the plus side - who needs collagen injections when your lips have to cover braces?

  3. What a FUN fishy! I love how the colors have blossomed and run, and how the black jumps out at you. You're getting good at this carving business!

  5. Oh I love this painting, wonderful colors,looks like you had so much fun! My adult daughter wanted braces again, her teeth moved with the appearance of wisdom teeth. Instead they just did this tension retainer, but its just for the bottoms. Its easier because she can take it out to eat, good luck with the braces. She did talk like bubba Gump for a few weeks! Did you get the invisible ones?
