I went to +Vin Sullivan's near Blaenavon last Thursday, hoping to paint a large fish. The only large one Johnny had left was a brute of a cod, who looked rather ugly. Anyway, I set to and did a rough sketch of it along with a whole lot of bass, trout, mackerel, sardines and whiting. Incidently, whiting was thought to be fit only as cat food, but now seems to have reached a more respectable status.
After an hour or so I had had enough and returned home to thaw out, but bought a mackerel to paint. They have fascinating colouring, and I had a bit of fun painting it. I ended up putting it on a bed of ice and seaweed as it looked a bit strange floating in mid air. I am not sure whether to continue with the cod......
