Larry is Dead!!!


Yes. Larry the Zebra Fish aka Larry T. Wallace is no more inhabiting his earthly form. In a moment of dark sychronicity I finished my painting of Larry last week and he is my feature creature in this year's Iced Coffee Season flyer. I can't talk about it now. Devastated!!
Here's my portrait of Larry in his natural habitat. This is in watercolor and ink covered with glassine.
