A useful doodle

As the secretary of our local art group, one of my jobs is to take the minutes at our committee meetings. However, when a lot of artists get together, not all the talk is strictly about committee business, so there are long stretches of time when there’s nothing that I need to write down. Like most people in this position I find myself passing the time by doodling idly on the paper I’m supposed to be writing minutes on.  Normally the doodles are immediately forgotten, but the other day, when I was trying to sketch out a Pisces for the zentangle zodiac series, I remembered that I’d sketched a couple of fish on the last set of minutes

Fish on the minutes

So I retrieved them from the rubbish bin and they worked very well as the foundation for the latest in the zentangle series - a Pisces design

Your zodiacs are beautiful! I can't wait until you put the collection up for sale. In the mean time, would you send me the Art Nouveau Squares designs? I think I would like to try them. Thanks!

I love your zentangles. Have you ever thought about doing a video about how you contruct them? Thanks for displaying your work and your idea.

I love the look of the whole piece. The fish are pretty cool as the focal point, but I think it's the embellishment around them that really brings the piece off. The enhancement at top and bottom really give it a feel of light refracting at top and water plants growing at bottom.

Great job!

Love all of the different shapes, twists and combinations that you use in your designs! Awesome as always! The varied shades of the same color hues that you used are phenomenal.
