I was a little bit thrilled at how well the paisley (yes, paisley again!) fabric worked for the fish. Here's a closeup.

Illustration Friday - "Spotted"
This week's Illustration Friday topic was almost limitless in its possibilities, but I seem to have animals on my mind, so I immediately went there. It was tempting to just do another beetle, but I decided I needed to branch out a bit and I kept thinking of those spots on the sides of salmon, so a salmon it was. This is Oregon, after all.

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Mother Nature really missed the boat by not making all salmon paisley--your fish wears his paisles like they were always just meant for him. Really wonderful, Terry.
