liralen: Finch Painting (painting)
[personal profile] liralen
Some shots of the bowl...



First the inside, and I really liked how the eye turned out. The body was basically two or three strokes, and then I added the tail and the fins, all done in just orange. Then I swapped to red to add the top of the head and back and then all the cross-hatching and the fin definition with the red. Then just one dot of black for the eye. It still amazes me how little anyone needs to see a 'fish'.

The Inner Fish

Another along the side, as the tail goes up the side... And then the somewhat silly outside... and it's only as I see it now that I realized I forgot a red dot. *falls over giggling* It's a good thing that made things should NOT be perfect.

Mmmmm... fishy. *grin* Thank you! I painted it when I got tired of the detail work on the outside. *grin* But I think it worked!

That's beautiful! Fish simplicity on the inside, pattern complexity on the outside!

They are! They were fun. I wished I had the full palatte to do them with, but it was fun anyway...

I love the fish! Wow!

The missing red dot on the patterned outside (also lovely) reminds me of the story of the magic paintbrush, where if the artist completed the painting it would come to life.
