Description

Titled “Wonderment of Fish” 10 colorful and carefully crafted fish friends are shown swimming in glistening blue water in a shimmering school in this children’s book illustration. Starting on the left we see a puppy dog like chocolate brown, tan, and yellow porcupinefish with large brown spots and white thorns or spines all over its body. Above it is a rainbow colored mandarinfish with large bulging blue eyes and swirls of coloring markings as if they were made with spilled and splattered paint. Swimming below is a stripe whiskered gray, orange and tan Corydoras catfish follows along. Next in the middle, we see a colorful bright-blue blue tang with a bright yellow triangular tail fin and joining its friends is a beautiful pink, cream, and yellow butterflyfish with a long snout and radiating brown bands and a large eyespot on an extension of its top dorsal fin, and below, a tan and yellow colored Leopard Plecostomus or Hypostomus suckermouth catfish with red fins and brown leopard spots covering its armor scaled body and flowing fins. In front of the other fish is a beautiful navy blue, yellow, and white striped Moorish idol with a towering dorsal fin, large eyes, and pointed mouth. Next in line and shown above is a blue gray ovoid balloon like clown triggerfish with yellow lips and reticulated yellow and orange markings and aqua blue ovals and spots on its belly. Below this group is a muscular and triangular bodied bright green, blue, and yellow dolphinfish or Mahi- Mahi. Leading this fanciful school of fish is an orange and yellow tinted clownfish or anemone fish with broad white stripes with black outlines. My late father also drew fanciful fishes with cartoon bulging “goo-goo” eyes and happy faces for me when I was a child so it is only proper that I continue this wonderful tradition and share my fish pictures with children. Each of the fish above has appeared in the nature mandala art of Tim Phelps. Swim on over to find more about me and my nature mandala 10-year journey on my website @ phelpsmandala.com. where you will find 34 children-friendly whimsical collections of birds, butterflies, and frogs, among others most in nature-inspired circular kaleidoscopic mandalas.
