An Art Journal Adventure prompt that I missed while on vacation was “Mystery”. I liked how vague that prompt was as it let my creative imagination wander around all sorts of possibilities. Since I was on vacation with no art supplies, I also had time to mull it over. By the time I sat down at my table to create something in my art journal, I had decided that my response would be on the subject of “red herrings”, those distracting clues in many a mystery novel or movie. I decided to make the metaphor literal and illustrate a can full of red herring. Of course, my fish do not resemble herring and are just the product of my imagination but I think the allusion is clear.
