"Don't Worry Be Happy" watercolor

This is a demo started in a class a few months ago.  Finished this weekend.  These boats were tied up in a busy urban harbor in South America.  I decided yesterday to turn it into a tropical scene.  Guess I'm in the mood for a vacation.  Watercolor on Arches 300# cold press  10-1/2 x 14"

On Ice - A "Fish Painting" by Marian Fortunati

Sometimes painting opportunities come from odd places.
This is one of the beautifully ugly fish that my husband caught on his last fishing adventure.
The rock cod tasted great too!

It's nice sometimes to just paint something because you want to paint it.   I remembered several teachers who had painted crustaceans and fish and thought this might be a fun challenge so I decided to paint the cod when my husband brought it home from a fishing trip.   There was also an extremely odd-looking ling cod that might have made a great painting as well, but, I just wanted to work on something colorful and quick.
