Betta Ab 1 (7.5" x 7.5", oil pastel / inkjet, 2006) is the first in the series that I've just begun, based on images of the late "Blue Max" (see last week's entry). His silhouette was really lovely, so I started with that. Probably most of the others in the series will be more highly abstracted, the focus being on the beautiful colors of the fish and his surroundings.
It's strange to miss that fish so much when he was only here a week and a day. Maybe it's because I was so intensely focused on him while he was here. He was a wonderful little presence!
