Description

I wanted to create a work that studied our pet turtle, items in his tank, various flowers around the house, and a floral watercolor painting I had created for my newest niece. While working on this project, I had promised my daughter her first pet fish after she cleaned her room. We went to the store and there was a very sick fish, even the cashier thought he was dead... but she believed love could save him. We brought him home and cleaned him up, named him Goby, and for the next 24 hours he was as happy as could be! Unfortunately he passed away the next day. Goby was her first real experience with death. It is amazing how something so small could greatly impact our lives. A week later we purchased Frank (the red & purple one). I am glad we gave Goby a great last 24 hours. For various symbolic reasons the blue flowers at the bottom are made from repeats of this very special fish.
