Hot Rod
Well, I finally reached the end of this road...the fifth and, for now, last trout painting for a while. "Hot Rod" sorta' looks like an old '32 Ford with the fenders off, big chrome pipes down the side, and flames painted down the sides from the engine. Or, the fly fisher has a "hot rod" to catch such a mighty trout, and as it fights to get loose it sets the stream on fire! All five of these trout paintings made the water look different in the photos. I know it is a little strange from my usual take, maybe a little impressionistic for a representational painter...but you gotta give it a try! BTW, did you know Dylan co-wrote "Wagon Wheel?"
Now, I am going to do some smaller paintings...by request...and they will be different again.
So, heading up to Raleigh this weekend for the Raleigh Fine Arts Society 2019 North Carolina Artists Exhibition at the Contemporary Art Museum. I have entered this contest a half dozen times and finally...I got accepted! You may remember "Foggy Morning on South Holston?" Two guys in a drift boat riding the fog line looking for that special rainbow? If it doesn't sell this weekend, it will be at The Art Cellar in Banner Elk, NC in June. Got a BIG ART SHOW that opens Memorial Day Weekend (@artcellargallery; #artcellargallery). Hope I don't have to hitch hike back to Naples!
Stay tuned!
