Hidden Away

Hidden Away 6"x 8" acrylic $65.00



Many of the streams we fish take a bit of hiking to get to them. The water is usually crystle clear and the trout very wary so it takes a stealthy approach so you don't spook them. Its not just about catching fish either, these streams run thru some beautiful forested areas which are home to a lot of wildlife. After a day on the stream you come back refreshed, its a place you can lose yourself in thought and come back feeling good.

The top picture shows the plein-air sketch I did at the stream that morning. The brush is thick along that part of the stream so it was a challenge finding a spot to set up my easle and still have a view of the bridge. I liked the subtle reflection of the bridge in the calmer water and the flyfisherman who waits for the trout to rise.

Enjoy your night.

Floods earlier in the year washed away the bank and exposed the roots. I stood there in awe of that massive root system. We passed by this tree every year in the twenty years we been going up there. I knew right away I wanted to do a painting of this, so I pulled out my portable paintbox I carry. The picture on top shows the on site sketch I did that day. In the studio painting I wanted to convey a feeling of sadness, perhaps I was wondering about myself in 20 years. The next year we went up, it had completely fallen over.
