Very cool .. looking forward to the zebras as well.

I like that the fish are all different. Nice colors.

The mounting board leaves me wanting to see other options. The shape is plain and distracting.

I get the blue ocean color even though it doesn’t compliment the color of the fish.

I’m trying to think of some ideas….what if it looked like waves on top with white caps?
or a wavy sandy bottom with shells and the fish floating above? too much….

Maybe no visible mount at all. That would be interesting to see.

Nice work.

Fascinating. Kept me looking for quite a while. Well devised and constructed.

Nice!!

Very interesting, good color, patterns, flow…............Super…................

I think you could experiment with so many variations on this.
A slight arc, oval,to the main shape, different size fish, different depths to the fish, and so on.
I wouldn’t change a thing on this one though, it’s beautiful. Just thinking of possibilities…..............

i really like this, thanks for sharing

Thanks MsDebbieP, You are simply the best !

Hi Reedwood , I think your idea about the waves sounds neat . The Blue and Black color will ‘merge’ and become the same when concentrating on the abstraction . Keep focusing on those Yellow Lines . You may begin to see a ‘Forest of trees’ , Steep faced canyon cliffs….etc .

Hi Ken , I was so afraid you would not like my work , you have such discriminating tastes !

Thanks mtnwild , Yes there are a lot of fun possibilities to consider. I always enjoy your carvings !

Thanks Candyman , You know a little bit about optics ! I don’t have enough adjectives or space to describe how exquisite your work is .

Thanks Mike ! I used to cut plywood the same way you do when i started out.

Good luck with your shop , have fun .

That’s very cool.

Thank You Sir . If i were not so busy, i would consider coming over and cleaning up your shop,waxing your car, taking out the trash …etc….....just to watch you carve for awhile . thanks dan

thanks barbs , you do beautiful work !

;-) ..say, about that signature line. I’m curious, is that your rainy-day philosophy because you are dodging puddles?
