The start of work on a new painting entitled 'Masochistic Gaia Toying With Humanity'. The hottest day here of this heatwave, 27 degrees inside. I've barely the energy to work, and have watched some of the gripping tennis final, unable to face more drawing.
The composition needed more, so I added a fish from 'Bye Bye Little Fishes, And Thank You' (with the same meaning; the fish also appeared in Annunciation). The idea features a distorted figure, but with a strange face, which is in the air and upside down relative to the body. I decided to make this more 'realistic' in shading and look, but now I'm less sure. A mock-face as in 'Bunting Game' may work better.
