First painting in a long time, but now I think it’s the opposite of the theme. You can disqualify me if that’s the case :rofl:
(I think the fish is not buried under water since it’s his habitat, but I didn’t think to hard on it XD)

I think it fits, @des.ilustra. Good one.

After looking at your picture for some time and without having read your description, my first thought was that it must have been a nasty surprise for this fish that at the very moment it dives back into the water after an epically high and long jump, the water freezes and suddenly turns to ice, burying the fish for the time to come.
I thought of a flying fish that, during its long jump training for the entry “Longest jump by a fish” in the Guinness Book of Records, dived back into the water after a fabulously long jump, carried by a wind that was favorable in strength and direction for this stunning record jump.
Afterward, I scolded myself for my own stupidity! Because after such a jump, in weather conditions that freeze a large body of water so instantaneously, the fish itself must have been completely frozen by the time it re-entered the water, making it impossible for the frozen brain to wonder about this unfortunate event.

Despite the consequences for the fish in this story, I would like to experience such a jump myself. I find the idea of swimming at high speed and breaking through the surface of the water and then gliding through the air, free as a bird, before diving back into the beautiful water, fascinating.
But I should definitely think about choosing waters like the Caribbean or the Gulf of California as a jumping destination … :thinking:

Wow, thank you so much everyone! This was my first time participating in the challenge, and it was so much fun to see everyone’s different interpretations and expressions of the same theme. :blush:

For next month’s theme, how about “Fluffy”? You can interpret “Fluffy” in any way you like: animals, plush toys, food, cushions, emotions, art styles, and more. As an optional challenge, how about “The Ultimate Fluffy According to Me”? You get to decide what makes it the ultimate.
