This was a combination of two photos from Watermedia challenge for this month.
It is a mix of acryls, bit s of papers, water colour, water colour pencil and ink and liquid wc and liquid acrylic .

I was determined to try sticking paper bits and gave it a go.

I’m not sure which I like better….the eyes on the cat or the look on the fish’s face. I’d say you did great with texture.

this is your best work ever I think! As a cat lover I can relate to this black fellow’s look of surprise at seeing such a large fish. Superb piece!

Carlyhardy – Thank you… this was experimental but I now that newspaper can be used to create bits in a painting..

KreativeK – I know you like to experiment with mix media, and now I also know you like cats…. Thank you for your kind words… I don’t have animals and I find that I tend to do similar subjects, but these challenges are just that… challenges! n I figure if I dont give what I am not used to a go, I shall never expand… It was good fun though.

I’d have to say that your experiment with sticking paper bits is a roaring success! Your collage elements are beautifully integrated into the piece

My cat is black, name is Mr. Kitty, change the fish to a mouse as it is him. Elegantly painted. I mean, you must paint wonderful flowers.

Thank you GarageDoor – I had a black kitty for almost 21 years… Just as we were organising her 21st she popped her clogs… never mind.. she had a long life. Her name was ‘ Woods’ .

Love this. Wonderful colours and that fish looks like he’s trying stay still and blend in with those lovely rocks beneath him.:)

This is so fascinating. Glad you posted it on mm forum.

Clever composition, and full of the energy of the scene.

As long as there is light, I will paint it.
