Why Fish # ten

My fish help me process my thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a clear way.

When I painted my first fish it felt like it was meant to happen and I wonder how it took me so long to decide to paint one. The first fish was a gift for my son's 2nd grade teacher. I wanted to give her something special because she took special interest in him and made a big difference in his love of learning. The fish felt special and it started to become an obsession. It took a while before I had that ah-ha moment when I began to see more clearly how important they were in my process of expression.
