Under the Sea Inspiration

I haven't had much of a chance to paint but with such a hectic end of the week coming up, I decided to fit it in. I was inspired by the beautiful fish I saw while snorkeling off the island of Maui. This was done in mixed media. The background of yellow, red and blue was done in acrylics, the trigger fish were done in watercolor and india ink.


This Hawaiian Trigger Fish can be found in my Etsy store.
I also am having a sale this week 20% on all my framed handpainted tile.

To Hawaii and back

Just had a whirlwind trip to Hawaii and it was good. Went to Maui and spent time on the many beaches. Went snorkeling, did the road to Hana, went to Lahaina and shopped until we dropped. I was very close to canceling this trip because of my son's condition but he did OK .Still had some flare-ups on the trip but he was able to participate in most of the activities. Today, however, was a very bad day for him. Almost had to take him to the ER again. Tried to get him into the regular doctor but they were booked up and they can't make any room for him until tomorrow afternoon. It's very frustrating. Looks like they are going to have to run some more tests on him just to rule things out. Meanwhile, I am still looking at different things and combination of things. Something has got to work.
