Codfish Project Unwrapped



This is a wooden codfish that I am going to decorate for the Marblehead Festival of Arts 50th Anniversary Celebration.  I am among fifty local artists who are going to decorate one of these wooden fish, which will then be displayed in Marblehead, MA, and auctioned off.  Last week I drove over to Marblehead to pick up my  wooden codfish. It  was wrapped in plastic when I picked it up. As I was unwrapping it back home, I remembered that as a kid, I was used to seeing fresh fish wrapped in newspaper.  So before I started decorating this fish, I decided to kick off this project by taking a photo of my wooden fish against a backdrop of newspapers.
