Goldfish by Firedrake
Firedrake

Goldfish by

I got sick of beakfaces and lizards momentarily and decided to paint some fishies – literally, goldfish…I’ve applied patches of gold leaf to their little heads.

Despite being distracted by Eurovision I managed to finish it this weekend!!

This one will probably be at Brunswick St Gallery in their small works show, June 6th.

About 20×20cm, watercolour, chalk pastel etc on canvas.
