Casting Pond

"Casting Pond"

5x8  Oil on Paper

$95

The casting pond in the Arroyo Seco Park is the perfect place to capture fly fishermen practicing their casting.  I don't have to worry about disrupting the fishing and I can get some great shots while I walk.  Little do they know that a good or bad cast (I wouldn't know the difference) might make it into one of my paintings.

"The Catch"

6x6 oil on panel

$95

Painting fishermen is always fun for me but is it rewarding for the fishermen?  I have yet to get a photo of these guys catching anything.  I think it's just a ruse to get out of the house. The age old stories of fishermen stopping by the fish market to buy their "catch" can't all be false.  Or is this their version of I'm heading to the studio to paint and then coming home unable to produce a piece only to say "I wiped off my painting"?   In the end, it's all good if you're having fun.

Keep a girl away from her easel for two weeks & watch out when she gets back to painting.  I painted 3 pieces yesterday.  I have so many ideas rattling around in my head it's a bit hard to focus.  A painting a day has been the rage for the past few years but I'm going for "paintings" a day. We'll see how long that lasts.  Happy Valentine's Day.
