This my entry for the Marblehead Cod Auction as of Apr 25, 2025. Every year, area artists are invited to decorate wooden codfish forms, which are then displayed in downtown Marblehead, and later auctioned to benefit Marblehead Festival of Arts. The auction is online and people can bid from anywhere. This year, my codfish is decorated with a pattern inspired by Portuguese tile, hence her name, Bonita Bacalhau, which is Portuguese for "Pretty Codfish". Having spent the prior two days fussing over the pattern and considering adding design elements, I finally figured out that the design was fine but I wanted more contrast in the colors. So on the 25th, I continued repainting the existing design with a slightly lighter and greener blue, closer to my original design. I also worked on decorating the fins and tail. At this point, my cod project was almost finished. . . .
