A to Z Blog Challenge
Today marks the end of the first week of the A to Z Blog Challenge. Thanks to all the organizersand hosts. They are: founder Arlee Bird at Tossing It Out, Damyanti Biswas at Amlokiblogs, Alex J.

For today, my painting is of fish I saw and photographed at the Butterfly Conservatory in Key West, Florida. Although I think fish are especially beautiful when painted with watercolors, I used acrylic paints on canvas for this creation. This is a gallery wrap style canvas that does not require framing. It's my smallest yet--10" x 8".

I don't know anything about painting, but I'm amazed you can do one a day.
Thanks, Susan. Having an idea ahead of time helps.
You certainly have many styles of painting and they are all so expressive. I like this one for it's simplicity.
Keep up the good work!!

Thanks, Chuck. I think it all depends on the subject matter.
I wish I could paint! Love your work!
Hi, Mary,

I live your art. It always has such a fresh and "happy" look to it.
