Description Just another experimental piece, working on smooth paper this time. It started out just as an experimental warm-up exercise, but I was having so much fun with it, that I ended up working on it for a long time. This is not the best quality paper, but it was interesting to work on smooth paper for a change.

Thanks for the kind words! I hadn't thought of it in terms of composition, but I do think it is important to know about principles of good design, and apply it in my work, often automatically.

balloonfactory In reply to KarinZeller [2007-10-08 09:26:53 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome. You have a natural sense of composition in all your pictures - you don't have to try - that much is obvious

Thanks! I guess it's like driving a car, at first it's hard, but after a while it becomes automatic!

Hi Sue, thanks for your kind words. Your praise is always far too generous, but appreciated. I'm a far cray from mastering the medium, especially on smooth paper, but I'm working on it.

Thank you, Robert! I love doing them. They are more fun for me than painting flowers or landscapes. I'm so pleased when people like my fishies!

robertsloan2 In reply to KarinZeller [2007-10-10 11:21:17 +0000 UTC]

They are beautiful, and totally unique to you. I love the colours and the motion and everything about them. They remind me of every deepsea thing I ever loved. My reef pictures are like that, but yours go beyond it into pure individual imagination. Only you could paint them.
