Goldfish - a photo on Flickriver

Goldfish

            Today's prompt was for Gold.

I'm not a seeker of wealth, so generally don't have much gold about my person.  Neither do I have any fish, although I did used to have a few Goldfish and a lovely Shubunkan until the cat found it, but I digress.  I chose a goldfish as my final sketch for EDiF 2024.  Such a placid fish it only needed some air bubbled through the water in its tank and the occasional flake food.  This was an official 15 minute sketch with about half an hour of paint splashing later.

I've really enjoyed the challenge this year, although there have been days when I was tearing my hair out, searching for a solution to the prompt.  I'd like to thank everyone associated with Every Day in February and 28(29) Drawings Later for their support, likes and comments.  A big thank-you too to Annette Morris for devising those devious prompts. 
I think I may have a month or two off now to recover.
Donald.
