http://naturalistsart.blogspot.com/2013/01/fish-3-green-sunfish.html
Friday, January 11, 2013. Fish #3 Green Sunfish. Green Sunfish ( Lepomis cyanellus. 11 January 2013, Permanent marker, 11" x 13.75". The fish stands alone pretty well, so I decided it didn't need any sort of background. Here's my photograph of the fish originally posted on The Naturalist's Angle. This is where I sat down to work on the drawing during my lunch break. It's nice to be able to work on art in the rain under a pavilion overlooking the lake at Oak Mountain State Park.
