Description
Acrylic painting of five freshly caught Mackerel waiting for a lucky.chef to cook them !
I once spent a day on a boat mackerel fishing with friends off the Waterford coast -the sky was blue the sea calm and the mackerel shoals were plentiful -what an amazingly beautiful fish !
( the following poem extract by Mark Doty describes them very well ! )
A Display of Mackerel by Mark Doty (extract )
"They lie in parallel rows,
on ice, head to tail,
each a foot of luminosity
barred with black bands,
which divide the scales'
radiant sections
like seams of lead
in a Tiffany window.
Iridescent, watery
prismatics: think abalone,
the wildly rainbowed
mirror of a soapbubble sphere,
think sun on gasoline.
Splendor, and splendor,
and not a one in any way
distinguished from the other
--nothing about them
of individuality. Instead
they're all exact expressions
of one soul,
each a perfect fulfillment
of heaven's template,
mackerel essence. As if,
after a lifetime arriving
at this enameling, the jeweler's
made uncountable examples,
each as intricate
in its oily fabulation"
as the one before.
