So, after looking at the catfish for several days on my wall, I decided to leave it be in its current state...the finished one, now. My instinct would not allow further alteration, so...here is the finished "Catfish" (otherwise known as "Don't Let Go.")
It is 16" X 12" and headed toward Sundae Girl, to arrive within 5 days-one week.

This has been an excellent opportunity and I fully appreciate having had the chance to complete it for Sundae. Thank you!
