This week's Illustration Friday word was "Underwater". I didn't have a lot of extra time this week so, going against my natural tendency to overcomplicate things, I went with a simple fish motif. Here's the little watercolor piece that I made. It is inspired by what it is like to look down into a fish bowl, seeing the movement of the water and the fish.

For the Week from September 27th till October 4th the Illustration Friday Challenge was the word "Onomatopoeia". I was inspired by one of my favorite songs from childhood: "Puff the magic dragon". Here's what I came up with for "Puff". If you are unfamiliar with "illustration Friday" it's a wonderful weekly challenge for illustrators of all skill levels (also kids). I've participated twice so far. Here's a link to that fun website: http://illustrationfriday.com
