I painted these 2 mackerel because the Spanish preparation of the fish, with garlic, lemon & herbs was my favorite dish growing up and I always ordered it when it was on the menu. 
 
I worked to give these fish realistic detail, posing them with the lure that brought them in. They lay on a concrete slab, waiting to be cleaned. 
 
I chose to color the lure pink because women are great anglers and October, when the painting was done, is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The actual lure is on a table behind my studio desk.
