Oh wow, this is amazing! When I looked at thumbnail I was thinking acrylics, but now I know it's actually watercolors!

I'm well impressed and jealous of your watercolour skills

I like this one It reminds me of the fishes that I can always see when we are going to a Chinese restaurant The colours of the water are nice and the way you mixed them together to a kind of vortex is great.

Thank you! I've always been pretty proud of the water-background on this because I love those colors and how they mixed up. It was kind of a happy accident, I was new to watercolors at the time and just learning how they worked. I haven't stopped using them since

Thank you! And thank you so much for taking the time to look at my art...I'm glad my comments on "Artists are Professionals, too!" resonated with you. Its an important issue to me.

GuardianKitsune In reply to heatherkparks [2009-08-12 06:46:26 +0000 UTC]

No problem, sometimes if I read a comment like yours I just visit the artist as well. XD

Yeah, it's a very important issue and that all artist should be aware of. I had a situation in the past with a person once...

Thank you so much. I really try to make a point to keep colors bright in my watercolors because its my personal style. But not everyone likes it...I've had art professors say it wasn't "Watercolory" enough.

I love this fantail fish. I've painted a panel of fantail fish that I put into a frame I welded up, this so reminds me of them. Beautiful work.
