Here's another watercolor from my not-quite-famous-yet (for some reason?) series based on things I'm reading. This one's from a book of short stories by Carol Shields called The Orange Fish. The title is from the name of the first story, which is about a couple whose lives have gotten kind of stale, so they decide to buy some art work. They buy a print of a goldfish in a bowl, and... well, their lives start to change. It's a pretty incredible story. I don't think my painting will ruin anything for you.
Here's the accompanying text: Lois-Ann and I took in the flare of dyed hair, curiously angled and distinctively punk in style. You can imagine our surprise: here of all places to find a spiked bracelet, black nails, cheeks outlined in blue paint, and a forehead tattooed with the world's most familiar expletive.
I'm sort of proud of this painting, I mean, yes, overall it has some problems but some parts did what I wanted them to do. I have another painting for you later in the week!
