No. 252

"Hairy Mary" Watercolor and gouache. 9" x 12". Numerous Salmon flies are named after women, which makes me a bit concerned when it comes to this one! This is a classic Summer Atlantic salmon fly.

About Drawing Flies

I initiated the creation of this blog as a challenge. The challenge is to draw a fly a day for an entire year. Part of the challenge is the discipline to accomplish this every day and the other is to expand my creativity and to help find my artistic voice. The sky is the limit on how the flies will be created. You may have wondered, "why is he drawing flies?" My other hobby is fly fishing and fly tying. I also welcome the challenge of drawing the natural materials that are used in the flies. So hang on and enjoy the ride for the next 365 days!
