A wistful childhood memory inspired a painting
Jennifer McCabe Carrasco and her painting Fishing for Trout
By Jennifer McCabe Carrasco
Finished! I carved out a week before Xmas this year to attempt a 10x6 foot vertical painting. No commission requisites, no ordained subject matter from on high, no style requirements nor painstaking designing and drawing……just my own personal work, which I have named “Fishing for Trout”. The fish shapes are painted with pearlized iridescent paint, not white.
The fish are painted with iridescent paint.
My vague plan was to use big brushes, lots of paint, draw on my themes of water in the landscape and let ‘er rip. I can’t express how engaged I was, how exultant I felt when I finished last night. This is the best gift this crappy year has given me.
