Hotbreath Tea & the Invisible Branches at Communion/Daytrotter showcase at Codfish Hollow, Maquoketa, IA 9/19/14
In the 1920s fresh fish were packaged with labels identifying the fishing firms from whence they came. This was the beginning of the development of “product loyalty”, as consumers began to trust particular brand-names.

Here is Bela Bacalhau again. She is still on my easel, but I have made a beginning and you can see that she is covered with a layer of white gesso (primer for painting surface). I started applying gesso today, and tomorrow will finish with the sides and the back. This is the wooden codfish that I am going to decorate for the Marblehead Art Association. (Fifty area artists are decorating wooden codfish cutouts to be displayed in Marblehead and then auctioned to benefit the arts.) My plan is to decorate this wooden cutout with a Portuguese theme, taking inspiration from blue and white Portuguese tiles (azulejos) that I have seen on trips to Portugal. A Portuguese theme seems right because codfish (bacalhau) is quite popular in Portugal. I have already made a mockup of the design (posted here April 9, 2016 ) So as soon as I am finished with the gesso, I will be ready to start applying the design. Last year I also participated in this event, and if you like, you can see what I made if you follow this link: www.flickr.com/photos/randiart/17469011928/
"This leisurely, 3.8-mile (round trip) hike follows the North Fork of the American River to Codfish Creek, which in spring sports a zesty, 60-foot waterfall. Codfish Falls Trail Preserve, whose 30 acres include a segment of the trail, was the first property protected by Placer Land Trust, acquired in partnership with Protect American River Canyons (PARC) in 1993."
