For Under the Sea prompt, I decided to do a jelly fish. I remember going to the beach in Texas and seeing what my daughter said were sandwich bags floating in the water. There was a pretty big school of jelly fish. Since my girls were ages 1 and 3 we decided the hotel pool was better for us to swim in and let the jelly fish be. I had fun with the colors and shading. I think with this painting, I needed to work on "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" principle. I kinda over did it and it took away from the transparent look I was going for. What I ended up with was a coloring book looking jelly fish. I should have put in more highlights and left more white space. It is so hard for me to leave white space.
