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.

Fuchsia and olive green were other colors used for accents.

Next into the wet paint I stretched long pieces of cheesecloth and two coffee filters, the brown cheap kind.
