I remember fishing with my family as a young child. When we went in my dad’s boat on the lake, we would sit for hours (or so it seemed) without the fish taking a bite… talk about BORING!! 🙄
When I was a teenager, we started creek fishing which was much more EXCITING! 😃 We could actually SEE the fish swimming in the creek water. And we caught fish! Hooray!! I recall how wonderful they tasted knowing I caught them! 👍
Two of my sweet friends from Germany and I are going on our own CREATIVE, fishing expedition starting September 1st and you are welcome to join us if you’d like! 🐡
My goal is to create 50 mixed media fish and post mainly on Instagram. However, a fish or two may swim onto a blog post! 😮
I started experimenting with materials and here is a fish appetizer for you:
I will show you my fish finding tools on Friday. I hope you join me!
Cheers! 🙂

Hi Debi! Yes, fishing would be a good way to relax! 🐟☺️ I haven’t been fishing in years. Now I’d much rather float in a boat than fish. 🎣

What kind of fish did you catch, Kathy? 🐟😊🐡 We caught mostly trout if I remember correctly.

I agree, creek and river fishing is far more exciting. So 50 paintings, 50 fish in the month of September? sounds like fun!

I imagine some of the places where you paint would be great places to fish, Margaret! 😄 I don’t know that I will get 50 done in the month of September but I hope to try for a fish a day! 🐡👍 Do you want to join in the fun? You don’t have to paint fish if you don’t want to! 🐟🎨👍

I think that if I do I would want to go abstract, something really creative. Where is this info on this challenge? I know that you mentioned that you’ll be uploading mainly to Instagram. I sometimes don’t see all the details, I have enough trouble keeping up with my own stuff! lol

Yes, you probably do – Kathrin Werner and Heide Elise! I hope you do join in, Carol! 🐟👍 The goal is to paint a fish a day, starting Sept 1st. I want to do 50 fish but you could do more if you’d like. And you can create in any art medium. If it takes longer than 50 days that is OK too. 😊
