Well! The great thing about being in an art group that has weekly challenges is... when the topic is FISH... this happens! I would never have thought to paint this fella' and I had the most awesome time doing so. I mean, he's even got polka dots!

p.s. I think Mr. Lionfish had this expression on his face well before March 15, 2020.

Slept in a bit today and almost missed the sunrise!  Maybe because it's a bit of a grey day. Still lovely out though.

UPDATE - I touched up this painting in November of 2019. I thought the labels on the paint were not quite readable enough.... although they are still abstracted. ; )

Rasp Berrieeees!

Woke up early to paint these raspberries.  Most people have to eat up their fruit and vegetables before they go bad.  I have to paint them before they go bad!
