Second on the 2nd: Friendly Waters

 

Today I have a second look that echoes our host at Art Journal Journey.  That means it involves a fish.  Thankfully, you won't be seeing double this month, since the 2nd doesn't land on T Tuesday this month.

This journal page was created for a couple of challenges in January, 2019 about Geometric Shapes. I revisited it, but removed all evidence of links to previous challenges, one site which is now defunct.

  If you have been around my blog for any length of time, you know I can't draw.  I've said it before that it's not in my wheelhouse.  I not only can't draw, I am not particularly good at coloring the shapes I DO draw.   Actually, I have no desire to draw and color.  However, I CAN draw geometric shapes, even if I have to use a ruler and a French curve to do so! 

That's why today I give you my entry I call "Friendly Waters."

I hope this catfish

finds these waters friendly.

I hope you can see this is supposed to be a fish (come on dear friends, use your imagination).

For this page, I tore a page out of an old Plane Geometry book and colored it blue using a water soluble crayon.  Since the page was so old, the light blue was difficult to color over the brown paper.  The geometric shapes I chose for the fish I colored using a dark blue water soluble crayon were three triangles, two circles, and two one-quarter ellipses. The fin and center of the eye were made using turquoise acrylic craft paint, while the "whiskers" were orange acrylic craft paint.

Now it's time to share your own Second on the 2nd.  The rules are quite simple and everyone is welcome to join the fun look back.  All you have to do is bring back a post that you are especially proud of, or perhaps one you shared before anyone knew your blog existed.  Any post, any genre, any artistic endeavor is acceptable.  Then link below (direct links only, please) and Bleubeard and I, along with other Second on the 2nd friends, will be by to visit.  Please be aware this link is only open until Monday at 4:00 p.m. my time, so linking on the 2nd is preferred.   

Please share something from your blog that you showed previously. Be sure the link goes directly to your Second on the 2nd post and not your blog in general.
