Today is a domestic diva day. Been on the run since 5:00 am. Little Miss Squeak has made it her business to wake up Annie who in turn makes it her business to wake me up. Went for a quick run with Annie then off to the airport to drop off some friends. Got home at 6:30 am and started to washed the car which lead to Annie getting a bath. One of Annie's favorite things is to attack any source of water. Decided to have a late breakfast with the tomatoes that are now ready in my garden and the bacon I always have on hand. Not sure what type of tomatoes these are since a friend gave me several seedlings without any label. Almost done with ironing and wash, then off to clean up my studio. I would vacuum but that will set off Annie's auto alarm system and she will wake up everyone in a 10 mile radius.
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
