Hi Bo, Yes, I see what you mean about the eyes. It's always great to hear new interpretations on the work as when you're doing, you get far too close to be objective, of course! Thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment.

Thanks Steve for your kind comments.

Based on a sketch from a previous post, I was convinced that this MC Escher-style positive-negative trick could improve and that a linocut could be the perfect medium. Also not giving the game away entirely with the name was a good move, so I came up with a less literal title. See http://petergander.blogspot.com/2009/09/fishermens-thoughts-090908.html for the original idea. The fish shape has been simplified down to its bare essentials now it's in negative. Linocut with water-based ink on newsprint, (artist's proof).
