One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish #2

12” X 12” X 1.5”

Acrylic on Canvas

Inspired by Dr. Seuss, at least in title, I created this second visual sing-along with reason and rhyme, reflecting the playful essence of a Seuss-inspired narrative through the directional layout of the fish chasing one another. To create the large curves of these colorfully numbered fish, I utilized an oval stoneware serving dish from our kitchen, I often discover unique shapes stored in the cupboards, reminiscent of Seuss' resourceful approach. The curved and straight lines of this piece were rendered with acrylic paint pens, straight edges, circle templates, and that serving dish. The jewel pattern in the center of the composition is organic in nature, drawn freehand, yet tightly controlled and adhering to the rigidity of my personal style, particularly within the geometric shape. Now let's count off... One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.
