With the weather being a little cooler in the morning, I decided to go on a hike. It's a fun outing for both Annie and I. Annie gets to sniff new stuff and I get out of the studio to help clear out the cobwebs. Always so thankful for people thinking ahead about preserving open space. Wonderful place to hike! I'm working on 2 new projects and one is a real brain bleeder! Technical stuff that is way over my head and trying to get them to explain everything in plain English so the rest of the world can understand what their talking about has been a challenge!
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
