Dr. Mary McNaughton and Drawing

I came upon an unusual food item in an organic grocery called dragon fruit.  I was struck at the similarity they bore to fish with the brilliant pinks and tail like fronds. I imagined different colors and sizes of them swirling and chasing each other.  The result was a pastel activated with spiraling forms throughout the composition conveying a sense of motion and speed among a world of lush hues.
