Swish
I needed a housewarming gift for my sister, and I knew that in the past her bathroom was themed "fish," so I came up with this painting. It's 10"x8" in real life, and though Swish's dorsal fin is a bit funky, I still think he's pretty cute.
We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth. (Mary Antin)
