Nothing says Autumn more than a painted fish. This week we will be featuring some painted fish that inhabit this part of the country. Why do people paint fish? I haven't a clue. In Fort Lauderdale they paint walls, here, they paint fish. There must be some primordial urge in artists to paint, well, anything.

WHAT DID YOU USE FOR BAIT?

Someone had fun in ceramics class!
ReplyDeleteI like the flowers
...and wondering if it lights up at night!?
I wonder if they're still tasty after they've been painted. Neat outdoor art idea.
ReplyDeleteI think that is an Hawaiian fish. Say Aloha. MB
ReplyDelete...And it was a beautiful painted fish.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week:)
Berit.
I prefer those who paint the fish to the people who smear the walls and monuments
ReplyDeleteIn Seattle Gig Harbor, Wa. they painted salmon and in Seattle, pigs....I havee a whole slew of those.... I would love to decorate one myself.
ReplyDeleteIt is an odd phenomenon...the painted fish. That being said, I like 'em. Looks like this guy swallowed a few flowers whole.
ReplyDeleteA blue fish covered by sweet flowers!Amazing and very creative idea!
ReplyDeleteLéia :)
By the time you return to Fort Lauderdale you may find painted fish there too.
ReplyDeleteMy dear friend: what on earth does a painted fish have to do with autumn? Especially a fish painted mostly blue. Orange, maybe, or yellow, but bleu?
ReplyDeleteStrange things go on in your neck of the woods!
By the way, did you find an adequate replacement for the Yugo? If you show me what you bought via email, I'll show you mine...
fishy habits!
ReplyDeleteBack before Katrina New Orleans had fish like that painted/supported by corporate sponsorship .. much like the Chicago and NYC Cow Parade ... dont know what I mean? Google it..
ReplyDeleteWhatever the reason, I like it!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that's a Carpus Lillius. It eats bees.
ReplyDeleteIt is always better than our locals' mania of scribbling nonsense on clean walls!
ReplyDeleteWhere's "here" if it's not Fort Lauderdale? I must have missed something. The painting is beautiful though.
ReplyDeleteIt would make a nice letter-box.
ReplyDeleteA floral worm, maybe?
ReplyDeleteI love outdoor art. The zanier the better.
ReplyDeletecame via Cezar and Léia's London wedding post. You can have another wedding, I don't mean marrying another person but rededicating to your wife. My cousin did that, and every one wowed at the wedding dress.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's fish because you are in the Great Lakes state:)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of a Gummy Worm!
ReplyDeleteI just passed through your town today, well passed through your airport. Nice city, a lot larger than I though.
ReplyDeleteThe painting is beautiful! But as it's on a fish...that just makes it weird ;D j/k
ReplyDeleteAnother happy fish. I suppose there must be a really strong bond between the townspeople and the fish in the area!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come visit again tomorrow!
