A crayfish? Maybe. We don't have them here so I can't compare. <BR/><BR/>I just loved the colours and patterns in it. It could likely make a wonderful lino print too.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-11227195259548709302009-04-02T14:04:00.000-02:302009-04-02T14:04:00.000-02:30I'd swear that is a beautiful lobster tail, Jeanet...I'd swear that is a beautiful lobster tail, Jeanette - or do you call them crayfish? I don't think it's a shrimp at all - but it's a delicious watercolour. Of course I could be totally wrong about the tail. :)Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-42695464752509957752009-04-02T08:35:00.000-02:302009-04-02T08:35:00.000-02:30thanks for answering about the pen :)thanks for answering about the pen :)Jennifer Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528908250338974537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-6008944046399120442009-04-02T08:30:00.000-02:302009-04-02T08:30:00.000-02:30I always loved shellfish, especially shrimp and sc...I always loved shellfish, especially shrimp and scallops, then got really really ill with it and it turned out I an now allergic to it. I think toxins build up in your body over time then wham. I'm sure the ocean pollution plays a role too. So now I stay well clear of it.<BR/><BR/>This is not the best image, I'll have a better one later. And no problem with the pen over the watercolour. I'm using a smooth paper - Lanaquarelle - so that helps and doesn't clog the pen with fibres.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-20503814202335541462009-04-02T08:19:00.000-02:302009-04-02T08:19:00.000-02:30I'm not a huge shrimp fan, its has to be really ho...I'm not a huge shrimp fan, its has to be really hot for me to eat it or I feel like I'm eating rubber :p sister must be allergic to shell fish as she blew up like a balloon when we went to Nova Scotia and she was in the same house as all kinds of shellfish. was funny at the time but could have turned out bad :/<BR/><BR/>i really do like the way the colours look here. It is a very nice companion piece to your trout. does the pen have any problems going over the watercolour on the paper?Jennifer Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528908250338974537noreply@blogger.com
