Gone Fishin'-Salmon Fillet
Oil on 6x6 canvas panel.
This is my contribution to The Raw Meat Challenge at DPW posted by Sarah Sedwick.
Sarah said: Raw meat has been a popular painting subject throughout art history - keep it raw, and bring out the inner caveman - or cave painter - in all of us.
I don't always choose wisely, folks...Instead of a simple steak or pork chop...I did this salmon fillet with it's swirly muscle structure interlaced with fat. Great to eat...Hard to paint!
I tried to not be intimidated by the confusing structure and merely paint what I saw. In other words, treat it like a vase of flowers or a landscape. It really helped!
It was a strange challenge, but that's what it's all about. Learning!

John 2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

what a unique subject---and you did a wonderful job of it!
ReplyDeleteOk Dean...have to admit this is not something I'd ever paint! LOL Still and yet, even in the thumbnail I knew what this was so you are definitely a wonderfully successful artist!
ReplyDeleteHi there Dean!... Show us the Meat!... and you did!
ReplyDeletePearly and swirly pink in colour! Planked even! A feast for the eyes... and the stomach!
Well done Dean! A gastrononic gem!
Good Painting!
