Hi Piety--
I am seeing this for the first time today (I always forget to log in to the critiques area!) Gotta say, I rather like those fish! (except maybe the one that comes over her face. . .
) Combined with the expression on the faces, they give the painting a sort of surreal, otherworldliness, as if the people are behind a veil or in some other state of consciousness. It creates an intriguing mood to the piece.
