Here is my project-in-progress for the annual Cod Auction to benefit Marblehead Festival of Art. (Each year some 50 artists are invited to decorated wooden codfish forms which are then auctioned to benefit the organization. The auction is online and people can bid from anywhere.) This year, my codfish is decorated with a pattern inspired by Portuguese tile, hence the name "Bonita Bacalhau", which means "Pretty Codfish" in Portuguese. When I took this picture, this project was almost finished. I had spent some time repainting the background color, and going over the white and dark blue areas, cleaning up whatever mistakes I found. Almost done, just needed to paint the back and sign it. (I always try to make the back look good because these are displayed on easels in Marblehead stores and so people can see the back.) Almost time to say goodbye to Bonita!
