FISH EYE

6x6" acrylic on gessoboard..................$100 SOLD

I'm working on some larger paintings right now but I get frustrated when I don't get something finished in a day. So I am trying to do both . I spend some time on the large one and then do a small one from start to finish. Satisfying! If only I could keep this up. I would be so prolific! I know better though. One of these days the muse will be gone again.

This guy reminds me of an old fellow I used to build houses with. Nice man and a good carpenter but he had the coldest, fish eyed stare.

Another angle with the same rod and reel. The reel is a Pflueger. The fly is hand tied by my old grampa.

I've been working on a large 4'x6' piece but took a break from the big one and did this to get something finished. Decided to post this while it is still wet. My old man did some fly fishing in his day, as did my grampa. I painted my grampa's fly rig a while back (ELMER'S RIG ). This one is similar, but actually a different reel and rod. I have 4 old bamboo rods from that era. They are pieces of art in themselves! This one is patented 1907.
