Fishes in the Rainbow

Date for Entry: (Sunday 3rd March 2019)

Actual Date of Online Entry: (Saturday 13th August 2022)

Dear Diary,

    I was asked by a gentleman working in DCFA to paint two sculptures. I didn’t know his name but he knew mine. He said that they were supposed to be thrown out and wanted to know if I could colour them for him.

    It was only the week before Mr. Sheldon from the library was speaking to him and I became a topic in their conversation. At that point, I was pulled into the conversation and shared some of the painting work that I did. This is how he knew I did paint work in some way.

    On the date of this entry, the first of two fish sculptures was painted. As soon as it was handed to the same person in school, he gave me the second one and that was completed by the next weekend.

    I took the two of them to prepare before painting. They were both washed and then hand washed. I did not know how to do so from any expert advice. Dishwashing liquid and blue soap were used to clean them. They were then left to draw overnight on top of six sheets of newspaper. I hope that wherever these two pieces are, they give good satisfaction to their viewers. The second sculptor was completed on Sunday 17th March 2019.
