Goldfish Bubbles


I added bubbles to the goldfish canvas Monday night. These came with the canvas and I placed them about where they originally were attached to the canvas. I believe Gail said they were Austrailian pearls. The colors vary and are quite pretty.

Now everything is done but the finishing. However, since I have several pieces to finish, it will be a bit before this is really done.

Jane: CONGRATULATIONS...I love this goldfish! Each of the elements are visually interesting, yet combined are stunning. And the pearls add just the right finishing touch. Gorgeous piece... I really enjoyed watching your progress on this canvas.

Thanks, Laura. I love the goldfish also. Gail Hendrix painted an awesome design here. I can't take credit for anything more than noticing him on a larger piece and begging for an ornament. It practically stitched itself.

At first I didn't like the colored pearls but the more I moved them around on the canvas, the more I liked the various shades and how putting a green pearl on a green lily leaf made it stand out, etc.

The little blue ones are on the blue water background and the black pearl is off by itself in the upper left.

Neat additions, aren't they? Squiggee includes lots of attachments with her canvases.
