We discussed using a theme relating to the current COVID-19 virus but opted to avoid it instead.
For this month anyway.

I adore painting birds, shoes, faces, sunsets and lipsticks! But not Fish!

To try something a little different, I went back to a solid black fish design I drew in art school some 45 years ago in ink with a compass, ruling pen and flexicurve. This time, I freehanded the curves but used a compass to define the exterior shape (in light pencil), and drew two grids, one for the fish to portray her in color and a larger one for the ocean.
No social distancing in the lily pond!
Playing with poured paint and digital art.
The fish was doing really well until I came back to it the next day and realized it had headed down stream and almost off the board. I guess my surface was not level. So I scanned and placed a border on it. Always learning. Make a smaller fish next time. Was still fun playing digitally.

For a long time I have loved the pink fish they sell at Whole Foods. Not brave enough to BUY and COOK them, I just like to look at them. IRL the pink is a brighter, rosier color. Fish on ice. Loved doing this!

Seen at the New England Aquarium a few months ago when we could see these beautiful creatures there. I long for those times again.
"Hope Fish"by Sally Dean Mello
I've been making fish pendants out of clay since the world shut down. I am inspired by Sadakos 1000 cranes of peace. Not sure I'll make 1000 of these, but going to number them to see how far I get. I plan to give them away at the reveal of the 3 year long fish mosaic project scheduled for this fall at The Art Complex Museum.
HOPE it is still happening- but if not then- it will at some point!
