₿ Con

I didn't set out to make a painting of bacon, but here it is! It started with the yellow squiggles which were meant to represent reflections in water, then I painted adjacent lines in brown, red and magenta. A few thin black edges and bluish shadows completed the effect. The same day I read an article about how crypto currencies are collapsing (again) and thought of a funny name for the painting, 'bit coin con' or '₿ Con' for short. Oh yeah, this was also a palette cleanser. After cleaning it Saturday night, I forgot to apply fresh paint, so the next day I used other palettes for the Sunday painting trip.
