The Fisherman

When visiting Yellowstone I glimpsed this scene as we drove past and asked Al to stop and let me take a picture.  After I got out of the car I saw the fisherman.  What a beautiful place and day to fish!  This scene was quite difficult to paint.  The reflections in the water were a real challenge!  But the challenging paintings are the ones that teach you the most.

This is a painting I just finished of the dam in Medicine Park, Oklahoma.  I recently took a photo of this scene with several kids fishing from the dam.  It was such a beautiful day and the lighting was perfect!  I had a good time painting this one and enjoyed using the new alkyd primed linen canvas.  It's a joy to paint on!
