Something fishy

Back in the fall, during my unintentional blog hiatus, I created several new pieces of whimsical art using scrap wood pieces, old dictionary pages and ink. They were fun! I have ideas for more pieces in this style once I get back into the studio. Today I’m sharing one of my favorite pieces from the batch I created.  It began with one of these pieces of wood, the backgrounds painted with acrylic:

Add some torn paper shapes:

Then lots of ink details and DONE!

Just for fun I left some of the paper un-attached to the surface to make the pieces more dimensional, in this instance the fin on his side!
