Aquamarina and her cuttlefish companion, Fernando, like to jet about the briny deep in search of adventure and new friends.
This collage of Aquamarina and Fernando, off for a jaunt has been constructed of painstakingly hand cut and assembled vintage images on 140 lb. handpainted watercolor paper and is accented with stamped coral, walnut ink and a real seashell. It is intended as a companion piece to “Octopus’s House, Undersea”.

Oh Yes. Stunning. This piece reinforces one of my own longstanding rules about art. Every work of art should have at least one fish. Great work
A rule to live by, Quantum. Thanks so much!

As always a real treat and an instant fav.
Thanks, Bec!
Great work, Winona.
fabulous work!!!!!!!
I LOVE this!
I could spend a long, long time in your gallery, reading and studying the images for all the fantastic detail. I decided to pick this one and use it as my ticket back. Otherwise, I would just fav them all. I’ll keep your gallery on hand, as one of my favorite “sets”…
Melanie, that is so sweet! Thanks for making my day :-).
