Like how you have done this Tessa, can see five interesting shapes.

Thanks Stephen, first past the post!

Nearly all of them, I like this style of work very much!

Lovely style and colours, Tessa.

Like this a lot Tessa , I think I see four definitely but then went mad with three more .

Now you’ve got me worried Dixie! 😳 Thanks all.

How interesting Tessa and a great example of happy accidents. A penguin (of course), a fish, a snake, 2 seals ... and I must be missing one!

Fabulous I can definitely see five.

Excellent Tessa, I can see a fish, lizard, shark a couple of birds and the penguin. There is a does head there, I think.

Interesting indeed! I see no seals but I did think a pair of frogs eyes! Another pal at the art group suggested a smaller penguin reclining…. Possibly there are more- the more you look….😉

An interesting puzzle you have set for us Tessa. I can only see what has already been mentioned.

I really like this one Tessa! Apart from all those creatures I love the palette and the textures. Gorgeous blue! Are you using a hog brush?

Lovely to wander around seeing those animals, Tessa!

Many thanks Carole, Marjorie and Thalia. Yes Marjorie, mostly Jackson’s black hog which I like more than most, and I find retains its shape well.

Thank you Valerie.

Someone in art group said he could see a penguin so I played along with that and I have also included some other creatures! There are five intentional ones. How many can you spot?

Although I did a year's Foundation Course at Cardiff art college after leaving school, I hadn’t painted much in the interim, except for a few…
