Second on the 2nd: Friendly waters

 

If your T Tuesday post is the same as your Second on the 2nd, please share it both places.

As most of you know, whenever possible, I like my Second Look to somehow reflect what our current host at Art Journal Journey is featuring.  That means I had to look for something that reflected Geometric Shapes, which is Valerie's theme this month.

This post was created for two very different challenges, Geometric Shapes and Fish.  I now give you Friendly Waters which was published on January 1, 2019.

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.   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 an entry I call "Friendly Waters."

I hope this catfish

finds these waters friendly.

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.

I've shown you my second look, I sincerely hope you will share yours, as well.  The only requirement is, it must have been published sometime in the past.
