Suppertime? - A Work in Progress

Today is bright and sunny which is deceiving when you are looking out the window as it is the coldest day so far of the winter season with the temperature being -4F (-20C) and a strong wind blowing making it feel like -12F (-24.4C) with the wind chill.














So it is a good thing that after doing barn chores, filling the feeders and shovelling out the walk way that I spent some of the day working on this painting (see posts on 15 Mar 2012 and 31 Oct 2012).














I marked in the main areas of coral on the rock face first and then started working on the under paint.

While the coral was drying I started painting in the dark markings on the jackknife fish and finally completed them before calling it a day.














I will post this painting at a later date once I have completed the fish.
