Brown Hooked Up

This was a fun one.

Hope to get it down in the photo studio this weekend

for the official print portrait.

Brown in Hand

The hand looks funky right now, when it gets "wet" it'll be better.

Should wrap it tomorrow. My favorite part...all the drips, drops, splashes and reflections!

...and better light for the photo.

Brown Spots

Today's progress...

Water Color

I get completely lost painting water.

It's sufficiently wet enough for now.

Brown All Under

All that white canvas is (mostly) gone.

Underpainting, and the water starting to look wet.

If you follow Orvis Fly Fishing,

you might have seen a great photo by Sandy Hays

 a few days ago on Facebook.
Thanks to Phil at Orvis for permission to use it as reference.

The next one is underway.

Finally...Fetch

"Fetch" finally got back to the studio last weekend for a photo shoot.

This one was a tough one to get to the print stage.

Lots of photoshop and test prints to get it as

 close as possible to true a reproduction of the original.

Fishing in the Fog

Hoping to really relay that foggy, damp look and feel

of early morning on the water. It progresses...

Photo Shop

Aside from being down with the flu for the better part of a week,

the photo studio got an upgrade and now occupies one end of my downstairs workshop.

I've had a rack of canvases that were waiting, so I finally got at it today.

"Fin" set up for the shot
