TROUT TWO WAYS
Unfortunate is the fish that makes it to my art class. Here's some more dead fish, this time trout, painted on their first day in painting class in oil on a 12 X 16 masonite board. The next morning their little bleeding carcasses were laid out for my drawing class, where I drew them with charcoal onto 14 X 17 Canson paper. How sweet of them to give their lives to art! Look! The little one is kinda smiling...

What is sad is they are wasted food; at least they are immortalized in your art so that may be why he is smiling.
I like the way you painted the fish, as the picture does look like they are shining.
