Darwinian Fish
Okay, maybe my koi fish painting is not evolving as Darwin would understand it, but progressing it is. I worked on it Saturday and got most of the color in. Those grey circles are eventually going to be bubbles, but their "evolutionary" stage is still currently just grey circles.
On Sunday, I spent 5 hours on the golden field of my old red barn painting and only got the part of the field in the sun complete, which is really only 1/3 of it. 2/3's of the field in the foreground is in the shade and I only began that section before I pooped out for the day. But I'm happy with how it is coming out so far. I also added some highlights to the barn itself. Barn paintings bring me such comfort. Like returning to my hometown in New Jersey, but how it was 25-30 years ago, and I head out over to the Bowers farm in Pittstown, New Jersey - with the smell of dairy cows and freshly cut hay bales. The barns in California are different, but call to that spot inside me that remembers.
No encaustic work this weekend (though the temperature finally cooled off and the fog is back), but that will be my goal during the week.
