Salmon Leap

Acrylics on acrylics paper (10 x 14ins). You know how it is folks......there you are with your painting of a waterfall. You're fairly happy with it, you've signed it...and then in walks your better half and says "you know what'd make that painting.....stick in a few salmon leaping up the waterfall".......and so...........
