I had a number of concepts on how to approach an image of the big bad north woods muskie! I settled on this foreshortened image and added the extra teeth hanging out for impact!

Back home now and back to painting in the studio. Sketched this one out in Sharpie on 140 lbs watercolor paper. Quick washes with watercolor for value and tone, then details with gouache and pastel. I started mess with it too much at the end. I know I should leave well enough alone!

I spent the week of this post at a church group work camp with my son in Rochester New York. Youth came from all over the country to work in smaller groups on homes in the inner city of Rochester. My crew was assigned a painting job for the first few days, then we were reassigned to a wheel chair ramp construction site. It was an extremely rewarding experience for both the youth and the adult leaders. I was able to squeak this image in during the few minutes of downtime we had in the evening.
