Oil painting on canvas
2006

I've now finished this at last! Here is my goldfish painting at last. This is loosely based on emmy75's photo at www.flickr.com/photos/emmy75/177228238/in/set-72157594180... Thanks a million Emily!
I think that it's better viewed large so that you can see more of the stuff going on in it but it's a touch blurry for my liking. I havn't managed to capture quite how it looks, maybe that's why art work is blocked from public display on Flickr!

Makes me think of Aboriginal art.

Surly Bratt

This is really cool. What did you use to get the 'oil on water' effect? Or is it a well kept secret? : )

gideonjamesabbott

This really wonderful; there's just so much movement and little things going on.

Its very beautiful. I agree with Mahadelic It has a tribal feel to it. The colours are fantastic as well.
You should be very proud. Cheers

oh i see - goldfish tail - without know that it looks like a body falling. Yes, please explain about water effect - I know your were playing around with it. I've read about different ways to do stuff with sprayed on alcohol but haven't tried yet.

LaserGuided

Beautiful artworks in your stream! Love this one, so abstract and mysterious, yet feels alive.

Evor

emmy75

Marlene Azoulai

I like it very much Fiona, although it's blured a little. Did you used as told in your profile "add plant seeds to my paintings for interest and texture"?. The result is absolutely excellent.

Thank you so much for the lovely comments everyone! There are no plant seeds in this one and it's a new special technique that I've been working on! I've now seen the falling man that cottiegarage mentioned and it's all that I can see now! Did you notice that he looks a bit rude?

Very nice Fiona. You are doing really well. Keep up the good work, and keep on experimenting. That is the way to go.
