They are titled Gone Fishing #1 and Gone Fishing #2. The first is a fly fishing painting and shows Neil's fly rod and a brass box given to him by his grandfather full of Neil's own handmade flies. We had some discussion while I was painting these flies...as Neil felt I was taking too much artistic license. One of my painted flies was totally vetoed and had to be repainted. (Oh my..... those fly tying artists...so wonderful and temperamental :) This painting was created using watercolour and includes rocks and the feeling of walking on a river's edge...two favorite things of mine.
If fishing, rocks or walking by the edge of the rive are some of your favorite past times and you would like a painting to remind you of them - this original of Gone Fishing #2 is still available and also prints of both Gone Fishing #1 and 2 are available in paper and canvas.

I do love those things, even if I can never catch a fish ;(. Nice paintings. You are so talented to be able to switch mediums.
Thank you Bonnie, I love to wander the shoreline looking at rocks and collecting bits of nature as Neil fishes the river.
