I wanted to try something different for me, a challenge indeed to use NO stencils & NO stamps! This is for the challenge over at the wonderful Art Journal Journey. I am glad I challenged myself to do this, I still prefer to use stamps, stencils but this was difficult but rewarding. Thank you for the challenge Susi. I will also add this to the PPF Ch.
I drew each individual fish my self and it took forever lol. I have often watched nature programs of how animals like whales, seals & dolphins herd these fish and it fascinates me. This is the inspiration for this journal spread. How so many fish try to become invisible. I think these fish-balls are beautiful although, inevitably, it usually has a sad ending as they all get eaten. But I guess that's nature beautiful & cruel at the same time. Thanks for looking, I hope you have time to challenge your self this month. Dxx

You definitely rose to the challenge - lovely work and the colors are great. HPPF
This is something very different and unusual and I do like it. Interesting that your challenge was not to use stamps and mine was to use them.
terrific work Dawn. Happy PPF, Annette x

Have a nicwe Sunday and a good new week too!
the color combination looks gorgeous...beauty at its best :)
I love the painting you have created! (The idea of not using stencils or stamps is great and seems okay for me because I generally don't use either.) The ball of fish, as they move together, is very calming.
This is a very interesting painting, the layering and colours and the idea itself!
Happy PPF!

Hi Dawn;
Adore the composition and like Susi said earlier, it does evoke in a way Monet's garden.
You got to have patience to create all of the details and in this case the little fish.A very beautiful and ethereal painting.
Nature does have a mix of both cruel and beautiful and I suppose in retrospect that includes mankind as well : ) Nothings perfect .
Thanks for sharing,
Annabelle O,O
