Description
I woke up in the middle of the night because I had a sudden image of perching orandas, slid out of bed and drew a nearly incomprehensible squiggle on a post-it note, which fortunately included the note "orandas on a branch" or I would have had no idea what I'd been thinking.I did not realize what a grumpy looking little fish the oranda is, but man, they're one disgruntled little fish.

Oh, I can see them now the fishy version of the Red Hat Society. Think they'd wear the purple dresses?

Wow, oddly enough they resemble two little old ladies who've had their hair in curlers for some hours and somehow managed to leave the house to go shopping around town. Of course why old ladies would be on a wire seems odd. Maybe they're being adventurous. Wonderful work by the way.

No wonder they look miserable - wouldn`t want that on my head either

They remind me of two old women with their hair curlers still in, no doubt complaining bout the loud music their neighbours are playing

"I think it may rain today, James."
"Yes, my dear fellow, I do suppose it may. *hrumph, hrumph, adjust monocle*"
I *know* that's what these fish are saying.
I love them. n___n

they do look like a disgruntled little fish and it bothers me that it always look like brains on their heads.

Neat! They look like to old unmarried aunts passing judgment on all the little young fishies around them.

I've left myself dream notes like that before. Though usually not much comes of them in the morning.
This is a really cute and surreal image. Personally, I think that it looks like orandas have their brains on the outside of their head, and that creeps me out a little.

I have to agree with you on that one. And the fish are far to expensive for how much they creep me out. I like them in the painting much better than in real life!

This picture is absolutely charming.
They really are disgruntled looking, now that you mention it. But cute nonetheless.
