This painting is a continuation of my exploration of underwater ambiguities. Maybe it's underwater, or maybe these fish have lungs and can fly. I'll let the viewer decide.

Moonfish

Inspired by Daily Paintworks "Moon" challenge. I love portraying the Moon, especially a crescent moon. In this one I was trying for some visual puns, with the night sky in the shape of a big fish, and the clouds in the shapes of more sea creatures. Signed on upper left corner. 6x6 inches, acrylic on wood panel.

Frog with Pansies, fun art by Theresa Bayer

Title: Frog with Pansies
Size: 4x6 inches
Medium: Acrylic on Everlast panel
Genre: animals, illustration, fantasy

I've been working on painting faster, and have found that if I paint thin, it's much easier to go fast. This one is a little tighter than what I've been doing lately. Still experimenting with this thinner paint body; maybe I can loosen it up just slightly. I also am enjoying putting glazes over an area, to either knock it back or give it some extra color.

I've acquired what amounts to a whole collection of plastic frogs, and used two of them for the frog in this painting. The column is from a clay model I made, and the pansies from a photo I took.
