Goldfish Abstraction - Fishing for Compliments II

18x14 acrylics on matboard from an abstract underpainting using yellow, orange, and white Liquitex paints, similar to my first one.  Using phthalo blue and mint green I went around edges, negatively painting a goldfish shape, then added kelp seaweed in front of and behind him.  Fuchsia and olive green were other colors used for accents.
