But I have to admit, the smart ass in me was wondering how one manages to paint fish underwater.

Just a few brush strokes and you’ve created something beautiful to view.

We have a 75 gal. aquarium here that used to be rather full. Now we’re down to the last fish. Mr. D and I are tired of the maintenance and need the space. So this fish will be our last. We used to have a big yellow one like the one you painted.

Yep fish are a lot of work. I bought a goldfish and a small bowl to paint. I kept it for a while but even that was a pain in the neck. Plus the fish kept dying after a month or two. So I finally gave up and sold the bowl at a garage sale.
