This is the beautiful fish painting I painted in November for my mother’s Christmas gift.

I hid it in my wardrobe because she’s here so often, and then had to ask to borrow it this week because I didn’t have a photo!

I’m so proud of it 

It’s sooo much better than my first fish, and it’s lovely to look and see how my painting has improved in such a short time.

Mum & Wonderhubby almost came to blows over whose house my first fish painting will live at, so I decided to paint one just for her.

She loves blue, so of course that had to be the main colour.

I used a page from an old phone book, pretty spotted scrapbooking paper, lacy binding, acrylic paints and charcoal pencil.

Then the green tail grew from the green spots on the body.

And she loves it
