"8 mm Natural Roe"


This being my first post, I find it appropriate that it’s to show my first fish painting.  Fishing and the outdoors have always been a big part of my life.  We just returned from Alaska about a month ago after a two week fishing trip.  Full of inspiration and vigor, I decided it was time… 

“8 MM Natural Roe”
10x20 acrylic on canvas

Alaskan Rainbows feast on the eggs of returning salmon.  That's what this one was doing when it chose the wrong egg...  Or in this case a 8mm orange bead.    

I chose to build a frame myself for this painting.  Just pine but treated with a painting technique very much like the old timers made whitewash.  I thought the red went nice with the rainbow stripe.

 

This painting is for sale.  $350 frame included
