Brown Trout

I am still experimenting and practicing with acrylic. I am really working it like watercolors and oils combined. This one was just free form painting. Laid in an indian yellow sienna background and just started painting. No references just my imagination.
I am still working on the new website and it is coming along slowly. I will post when it is up and running.

DF&F I do not know where we are at!
To tell you the truth, I do not know where we are at! Jason has been busy with a new born, which I know twice over how things change. Two or three weeks ago Jason threw down a tuna which a friend of his caught. This is my rendition. Enjoy! Swing by Jasons site to check out his tuna.

Green Butt Skunk
My first attempt using acrylics. Started with a toned sheet of 24" x 36" Watercolor stock. I used a warm tone so that it would compliment the blue washes. I then started in with the fly, apply thin and thick washes of acrylic. I then worked on some wet and wild blue washes. I added the highlights and spread the paint with my fingers. Made me feel like a kid again! I still think I will add some "nail cheeks", then call it done. I will definitely be using acrylics in the future!

DF&F 52_41 Green Butt Skunk
Tech Info: Watercolor and gouache on oatmeal paper.
A classic steelhead fly pattern. It was looking mighty slim around the Midwest. for steelhead this Fall. The water has been at it's lowest level since I can remember. This weekend did bring some much needed rain. Hoping it brings chrome to the river.
Congratulations to Jason and Kel on the birth of their daughter, Brooke Borger! For those who have been wondering, that is why Jason has been a bit behind.

DF&F 52_40 Smallmouth Bass
Went with some line work and a little Photoshop color enhancement this week. It is fun to change it up and just play with a Flair pen. Used a flair pen, scanned the image in then worked in Photoshop to add some color and texture. This will become a full blown painting in the near future, stay tuned. If you are interested in prints of this piece, drop me an email.

DF&F 52_39 Coulee Caddis
This week we decided to go with a fly. I chose the Coulee Caddis due to the success I had fishing with this fly in the Driftless region of Wisconsin. I was fishing with Mike Davis at Life On The Fly, which is a story in itself, but I digress, in an act of brilliance, he opens his box and tosses me a Coulee Caddis. Instant success!The pattern is a Driftless Angler original. I figured it was time to give this pattern it's due in paint. Great pattern that I will use again next year.
Tech Info: Watercolor, gouache and pastel on oatmeal paper (my favorite).
Original status: SOLD
