“Two Fish With Lemon Yellow Eyes No. 3,” 7” x 11” Acrylic and Oil

Two Fish No. 3

Quinn Jacobson December 7, 2023

I’m making a few paintings about fish (as you can see). I like the form and the symbol. As well as the variation you can get when painting these (as ideas for existential anxiety). Have you ever heard of ichthyophobia? The fear of fish—both dead and alive. The topic of fear interests me because it all relates to the fear of death.
