When the Creative Challenge, "Patterns" came my way last Monday, it just hit me, this wasn't about My Happiness, it was for someone else. Immediately I saw the fish with patterned skin and scales, the aquatic plants, pearls, sea creatures, etc. Their happiness is escaping the baited hook and the now broken net. Aquariums, I don't have one, but just to look at them seem to ease the stress away. The real ocean waves, ebbing and crashing are more therapeutic for me, but I'm happy to have this finished and Saved the Fish! Size is 9 x 11 inches.
Everyone welcome to participate in the challenge, to see others click the above link. It's not so easy to capture happiness by net.

WOw, you did a great job! That's a large painting! I love the fish, actually I love the entire painting! It's happy ;o)
It looks as though you had a great time with this one!!! I love it when it all comes together like that and you can revisit and reuse things that you have kept. xx
Great colours, textures & patterns. Beautiful, happy entry for this week's IA theme.

What a creative interpretation of pattern! I love your story and the idea of showing happy fish. Very nice painting!
This is truly a great pattern entry because Happiness saved the fish! Lovely finished art entry.
Beautiful piece--I love all the dimension you created along with the patterns!
