I spent most of the day today on this. I am calling it "Surveillance." 

I finished up the odd-ball fish for the swap I am in.We have...

a bound fish and a bone-in fish.

Asha sometimes enjoys performing her guard duties on a covert basis. I guess all that guerilla warfare training I paid for was worth it...

I decided to join a swap at iATCs again. Just for the heck of it. It has been a while. The swap theme is to take a template that is in the shape of a fish and do something arty to it. Naturally, I had to go the direction of making non-fish fish. I have a couple more to make, but this is what I've done so far. I have to say that I've had some fun.

Bark Fish...maybe

It has been a while since I posted anything and it has been a while since I did any artwork. This is just something I had sketched out a long time ago and finally got around to finishing up. I'm not all that excited by it, but it felt good just to play around with my pencils and pens and markers. This piece is roughly 5 by 6 inches in size.

A friend sent me this picture that he took of Asha last week. They like to hang together sometimes when I am at work.

 

It has been a while since I posted any photos of one of my walks with Asha. She turned 11 last month. I am so glad she is still with me. She will be having surgery in a few weeks time to remove a large lump on her thigh. There will be no walks for a week afterwards, about which I am pretty sure she will be unhappy. We'll try to get plenty in before then.
