Things are taking shape. Of course, finishing the boat is just the beginning. Once completed I’ll then ruin it, set it in the painting, and then begin salvaging/repairing it.

The Boat
Today I’m getting a start on weathering the boat keel for the current painting. Next I’ll prep/mount the cladding. Eventually I’ll submerge the whole thing in water, freeze it, put it in the oven & start it on fire (among other things) before placing it in the painting.
Progress
I started this painting more than two years ago and am at last beginning to see its outcome.
Today I’m checking the proportions and relationship between the wooden boat and the painted surface. Long way to go on each, but I’m very happy with how things are turning out.

Lures
I have a thing for fishing lures. I’m not sure why exactly… I don’t fish. Here’s some details from past #paintings. I use ashes and small seeds from our field for texture.
