When the rock fish season is still a long way off, I have to console myself with at least painting them. This one is 28" long. If I take the time and effort to dream, I may as well dream big.

That’s nice! Is that on reclaimed wood? I’ve been working on fish stickers in my drafting program but working in physical media would be rewarding.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. It's painted on a scrap of plywood I couldn't bring myself to throw away. Ocean has been too rough to fish for crab, I have enough herring now, water in the Smith has been too clear for steelhead fishing.

Thanks for sharing Hooper. These are the simple things in life that I appreciate the most. This is a simple abstract my son did for me on my birthday many moons ago that I cherish the most.
