Donuts for sharks

…”You’re gonna need a bigger Butt”

Chomps eye view.

Give us dialogue please.

Shark van Gogh.

I call it Before the Frenzy.

Paint what you know.

The shark equivalent of a bowel of fruit.

Food painting eh.

A meat filled donut? Is that British, or something?

Oh look; he’s painting his lunch.

Figurative “top” of the food chain looking up at the literal “top” of the food chain.

He’s an expert at water colors.

Cape Cod!

bird’s eye view

Looks like a shark’s idea of an ‘everything’ bagel.

Shark painting butts, now have seen everything!

Painting in watercolor can be hard enough. I’ve never tried underwatercolor.

Shark bait…ooooo ha ha !

Watercolor!

Shark Ross

Painting is like writing, paint what you know.

Next painting “The Scream” after Munch(ing).

So the shark finishes the painting. He rises to the surface, his fin cutting an impressive and horrifying sillouette. The man in the floating doughnut is scared.

The shark circles a second time, coming so much closer to the man.

Then he circles a final time, and the man is quite literally scared out of his wits.

The shark attacks and consumes his meal. A remora, feeding on the aftermath of the shark’s furious attack, rests, bloated and happy.

He says to the shark, “Been wondering, why do you circle the guy three times and get closer each time, wouldn’t be easier to just move your easel and spring up from below.”

“Yeah” , said the shark.

“But they taste a whole lot better if you scare the po op out of them before you eat.”

Where’s the happy little tree? (Bob Ross)

Well, since sharks don’t have cell phones to take pictures of their meals they have to paint them!

Watercolors

hope that isn’t water colors he is using

He’s by himself. Does that make him a lone shark?

This is cute and put a smile on my face.

O-k, I will bite. Shark week again?
