Meet Mr. Bear….Fish in Space!!!

By mazzyblue | Published April 29, 2008

Meet Mr. Bear….I will be embelishing him with beads, thread, and maybe even ribbon!!!! Much Fun!!!

This is a Triptic I started last year and had to walk away from for a while due to artist block. I really was at a loss as to where it was headed…

My friend Rob came by to visit me and he asked me to dust off a few of my creations for a good old fashioned Artist Critique!!! So over a cup of coffee we ended up discussing this Triptic. “I see fish.” he said to me…..”Fish??? Really???!!!!” I exclaimed….

So after much thought and meditation on the matter I started to see the fish swimming deep within the depths of the cosmic space I had painted last year… and so late last night before I headed to bed, I sat down and sketched out what I seen in meditative state…..

So now I have the outlines of my Triptic that I shall call “Fish In Space”!!!

Let me know what you all think!!!

Cheers!!!
