The fish in the upper right corner looks like it is swimming away instead of just right or left. Cool!

I have been sitting here, painting fish with you before going off to bed. When I started, my fish looked like, well not what I wanted them to, but I pressed on and now I have a small area of the sea and fish and stars and sea weed and, well, more than I thought I could have, all on the back of a practice paper from long ago. I think I will reproduce something just like it in my journal tomorrow. Who would have thought I'd get this far? Certainly not me! I love surprises like this :)

It's a bit past 7 am here in sunny California and one of those days that I get to start off without a rush so I was thrilled to see this fun fish painting. I love how their expressions are all so unique. What a difference the eyes and mouth positions make. Some seem to be smiling and others in great thought :) I really love this and am excited to paint this later today. Thank you for explaining why you won't be having music in the background. I always thought it was relaxing and very appropriate selections for each tutorial, but the copyright issue makes sense. Besides, your soft calming voice and story sharing is better than any music background. Arthur looks comfy now. It was a sweet way to end your video.

Hello Diane, These little fish are so relaxing to watch you paint and I am trying a few on scrap paper with various paints I have to compare them. They really are cute! I am wondering do you ever do in person classes near where you live>. My husband and I may be able to visit our son who lives in London next fall and I'd love to taake a WC class in person from you or one of the other delightful British KZfaq artists who I follow.

We keep our cats in. There are so many neighborhood cats that think our garden belongs to them

@DianeAntoneStudio 2 жыл бұрын

We have five cats and they were all indoor ones until this summer. The problem was that two of them couldn't take the confinement. One was pulling out his fur (despite our efforts to entertain him) and had made all four of his legs quite bald. The other (the one who just had the fight!) was becoming vicious to everyone, especially us, biting and scratching. So in the end we gradually let them out and those problems have disappeared. I know how risky it is, but I think that on balance it's best for these particular cats. If I lived in a city I would keep my cats indoors (and only keep two!!!)
