I haven't forgotten about Bela Bacalhau, my codfish project. Here she is as she looks now. I am decorating this wooden fish for the Marblehead Art Association. (Fifty area artists are decorating these wooden codfish, to be displayed in downtown Marblehead and then auctioned off to support the arts.) When I think of codfish, I think of my visits to Portugal, where codfish dishes are on every menu. So I decided to use a Portuguese theme inspired by blue and white Portuguese tiles (azulejos) that I have seen in Porto. I have previously tried out my design by drawing it "life size" on paper (posted here April 9, 2016 ). The basic idea is a visual pun: fish scales that look like they are made of tile. After trying out some options, I decided to use ink and fine-line marker for the lines, silver ink to outline the square "tiles", and blue marker for the lines that decorate the tiles. This is as far as I got today. So far I am happy with this, and I like the way the silver looks when the light hits it. I also participated in this codfish event last year, and if you like, you can see what I made if you follow this link: www.flickr.com/photos/randiart/17469011928/
Omg, I just cannot believe that I finally have received the financial help I was waiting for just about... one whole year! Too bad I had so much work I didn't even have the time to feel happy about it.
Yes, I had to do a presentation today at my job, and this was what I was wearing. I am a pretty formal worker, as you can see :p
Oh, and btw, it seems that Spring is finally here!

Kakapo chicks from Codfish Island in Southland, New Zealand. these guys were at a quarantine facility being hand-reared before being released in the wild. The kakapo is the worlds heaviest, and rarest parrot. there are approximately 125 of these birds in the world.
Tá, confesso, não tirei foto hoje mas resolvi postar a comidinha especial de Páscoa que a minha mãe fez!
Part of a panorama that i still haven't quite got right, this is a stunning view north which catches both the island of Whenua Hou and the distant peaks of Fiordland.
Mercado Municipal de São Paulo, located at Rua da Cantareira 306, is a 12,600-square-meter market hall hosts one of São Paulo's largest produce and food markets, packed with 291 shops selling all manners of vegetables, fruits, spices, dairy products, fish and meat every day starting at 6am. The 3-floor, 2-story neo-classical building was designed by architect Francisco Ramos de Azevedo’s office in 1926, and constructed between 1928 and 1932. Its scheduled opened was delayed by the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932, when the uncompleted structure served as headquarters for the military and as a warehouse for arms and munition, before finally opening as a public market on January 25, 1933. Mercadão (The Big Market), as it is affectionately known by locals, welcomes around 14,000 visitors daily, and employs more than 1,500 people, which together handle about 450 tons of food per day in more than 290 boxes.
Random snaps from our first visit to Codfish Hollow, one of the more unique concert venues anywhere. Music in the barn with local artists, beer and food all around. We saw Ani DiFranco, Pieta Brown and the Righteous Babes. A nice thing about fixing up an old farmhouse in Jackson County is we'll be putting this place in our rotation of things to do.
These endemic forest parrots are exceptionally vulnerable to introduced predators because they nest in fairly accessible holes in trees, often at ground level. This of course was no problem before Europeans brought mustelids like stoats, ship and norway rats and cats to New Zealand. Now these parrots are only able to breed with any great success on pest free off-shore islands like Whenua Hou.
