It's time to start working on my codfish project. Every year some 50 area artists are invited to decorate a wooden codfish form to be displayed and then auctioned off to support the Marblehead Festival of the Arts. This year I am going to decorate my codfish with a pattern inspired by Portuguese tiles. I am returning to a theme that I used a number of years ago when I painted "Bela Bacalhau"*. But Bonita will look different from here older sister Bela, first of all because the shape of the codfish form has been revised since then, and second because I will use a new design and different colors. I have been thinking about Bonita for a while, but yesterday I actually tried some ideas out on my iPad. I came up with this (very rough) sketch, which I cleaned up a bit for posting in iPhoto. I used Procreate to make this sketch, and Procreate captures your work as you draw, so I plan to publish the resulting video tomorrow.
