Aquarium with fish paintings in my room

Two years ago, I went through a phase where I painted a bunch of paintings of my parent's water garden. This was in preparation for the painting that I wanted to do for them of their water garden as a Christmas gift. When I set up my 55-gallon aquarium yesterday I hung some of those paintings in the space surrounding the aquarium.

As someone who struggles often with anxiety, I find the fish tanks to be greatly relaxing. It is fun that I was able to add my art to the space.
