This is how Lacy, my decorated codfish, looked as of April 19th. I am creating this for the annual "Cod Auction", an event I have participated in for the past several years. Some 50 area artists are given a wooden codfish form to decorate. These decorated codfish are then displayed in downtown stores, and auctioned to benefit Marblehead Festival of Art. (The auction is online and people can bid from anywhere.) On April 19, I began to work on the actual wooden form. Following the design I had worked out on paper. I used pencil to draw the design over a light coat of gesso. I took this photo in the evening, hence the strange shadows, but I kind of like the effect.
