Empty Creel 15x22
Do you remember "HEE HAW?" Great music, corny jokes (in fact they were in a corn field when they would salute a small town, population whatever...then all jump up from the stalks and shout...well you remember)...I was working in TV at the time and loved it...even in syndication.
Well, today I send a "shout out" to a world famous fly fishing guide, long-time friend, who chose fishing around the world to playing golf around the world...kinda' like me! Well, you're right, I am not world famous at fishing or golf, but I sure did cut down on my trips around golf course to spend more time painting. My back hurts a lot less, too. Randall "Bo" Goins guided Chad and me last summer before Father's Day on the Little Red River. Caught plenty of good fish...but I caught a number of good photos to use for sketching and painting. The name of his company, he retired from the food business, is the Empty Creel. His slogan is "Life is Good on the Fly."
Bo, I have no idea where this scene was shot, but I started painting it a decade ago during a workshop where someone asked, "how do you paint rocks?" I stuck you in the left side of the painting, and dang if you didn't steal the scene! Something I must have learned in design class last summer, or watching Hee Haw...hope you are enjoying Peru.
Saaaaa-lute!
