SOLD

Friday evening I began to worry about my big fish Jocelyn because she was hovering above the rocks at the bottom of the tank. I went over in my head what could possibly be wrong with her. Old age isn’t the problem. Able to live up to 25 years she’s just a youngster at age six. She’s not been over fed, she’s not bloated, her bladder is healthy, what’s wrong? Usually the big fish is graceful and playful as she swims wit her two tank makes, but something has changed, something is off.

It was cool enough this evening for the cat and I to talk a walk outside. Ms. Mary Jane is leash trained and does well walking around the yard secured in her kitty cat harness.

Snails Three and Ducky

Published on June 22, 2010 in Art, Art by black women, Innocence Gallery, Paintings, Pets and Sketchbook diary. 2 Comments

The mama snail I added to my aquarium recently had a few babies. I’ve watched these little tiny lives grow from the size of a pencil eraser to now the size of a dime. They’re so, so sweet.  For those of you who are unaware Little Duck is my nickname, which means the little duck in the picture is me following them around watching them grow.

The original sketch is in my sketchbook and was done in ink and tea stains. The picture published has coloring corrections and a few tiny other details added.

Thanks for visiting Sundrip, it’s much appreciated.
