Clever Fish In Progress

The first piece I'm working on is for the story "The Fish That Were Too Clever" which can be found here. It's number 7 on the list.

I'm a little over half way done with this piece. There are still some details that need to be added in on the tails and lily pads and maybe you can see the little sketched in flowers I still have to paint. Right now I'm debating whether to leave the entire background natural wood or to bring in just a few subtle washes of blue around mostly the outer edges. I think I'm leaning toward adding some blue, but any input would be appreciated.

    i say leave the wood, then if the class REALLY doesnt like it add the blue.

    also, i do like that you are adding flowers, but i'm not so sure about the angle. right now everything is from an top view, but the flowers would be completely on the side, which seems a bit weird. i think if you went with something like this http://imagecache6.allposters.com/LRG/20/2098/TOP2D00Z.jpg they would look more natural :)

    I think it's nice just to see the natural wood.

    If you add blue or not, that wood grain needs to shine. I love how you've arranged all the patterns.
