Three Gold Fish

Three Gold Fish, 6″x4″ watercolor on Fluid watercolor paper
Three bright, shiny golden fish swim through a world of lovely purple water and swaying green seaweed. It makes me think of a fish tank, a little bit, or a pond somewhere with the sun filtering down and the plants growing upward.
Everything in this has a little sparkle to it, though the metallic fish are by far the brightest.
This small, strange watercolor would be perfect for a spot that’s too small for a fish tank, but in which you want to see a glimmer of gold and contemplate the peaceful life of a fish.

Above, you can see the shine of golden fish, sparkling water, and even the waving fronds have a little of it. Below, the fish are in their tank, er, frame, waiting for their forever home.

Goldfish 2 by Amy Crook
I posted this goldfish as a work in progress on Instagram, and through the magic of the internets I turned him into plot bunnies! He’s heading out tomorrow to his new home, and in return I have a whole rainbow of rabbits to keep me company during NaNoWriMo.

Glass Fish

Glass Fish by Amy Crook
This translucent fishy is swimming in a lovely blue-green bowl, fins fanned out like tattered silk. There’s just a hint of scales along his body, and his big black eyes and grumpy mouth make him adorable as well as elegant.
His body is a rich, bright orange with hints of red and gold, but you can see the water through the transparent paint.
He’s a bit like a painting of a glass sculpture of a fish. Very meta.

Above, you can see the elegant sweep of his transparent tail. Below, he’s nestled in a frame, swimming happily in the tiny space. Unlike real fish, paintings don’t need big tanks.
