Garden Fish Beneath the Reef

A cheerful hand-drawn fish swims across a pale sheet, its rounded turquoise body marked with white highlights and framed by a broad striped tail and fin. Behind it, branching pink coral and golden leaflike forms create a fanciful underwater garden, while loose green and pink marks soften the surrounding space. Dark outlined contours, colored-pencil accents, and translucent washes give the piece the lively, tactile character of a childlike mixed-media illustration.
