I had a lot of fun with this one. I was really looking forward to doing the fish and I do love to fish. I made this bigger than an 8 x 8 i used a 12 x 12 because I’m going to be giving it to a friend of mine, who loves to fish.

I loved this painting so much. I wanted bubbles, so I added some from your gold fish tutorial. Now I can’t wait to paint that.
