I find it compositionally challenging to cram this long fish into an 8x6" panel, but I have the panels, so that is what will be happening as far as daily painting goes. Maybe I need to look at it in the terms of a Haiku: the given is the fish and the small rectangular panel, figure a way to make it work. The round brush was not as alive on a canvas panel as a completely smooth one, the paint went down differently. I will be sanding those canvas boards smooth in the future!

Belle peinture, ce n'est pas simple de donner une âme à un poisson mort! Il paraît tellement vivant. Belles couleurs, votre poisson capte bien la lumière.
