"Tancho Singletail Goldfish with Amazon Sword Plant"3/23/09
2008 GOLDFISH SERIES
Fish are always, always, moving and that was one of the major challenges in dealing with them as a painting subject.
Even a sleeping fish has gentle movement. Those rippling fins and gills -are floating up and over or out and away...and that's when the little bugger isn't flat-out zipping around the tank.
The solution I came to included movement with plants (when I could) and motion with water (when I couldn't) -Successful? It's up to you kids.
2008 GOLDFISH SERIES
I'm not a big fan of lengthy titles-but I chose "Red Ranchu Goldfish with Nana Plant" -since I used a 'Red Ranchu' Goldfish and the 'Nana' Plant as visual references.
