WIP Arctic Char carving 2

2010-03-20T22:20:00.003-05:00

I should have more done by now but that darn March Madness is slowing me down. :-)

Most of it's to shape and smoothed out except for the tail. Need to finish up the jaw and put detail in the head. The fins are cut out but not shaped at all yet. It's getting there. Next time I update it should be ready for paint.

WIP Arctic Char carving

2010-03-19T00:27:00.003-05:00

I'm starting on an Arctic Char 1/2 carving. It's actually about 5/8th, the fins stand out nicer just a bit away from the board behind it.

It's being carved from basswood and about 15" long. It's very rough right now but hopefully I can get it to shape and fins on it this weekend. This was enough for tonight.

2009-11-12T19:41:00.003-06:00

Decided to try some Art Cards, 2 1/2'' x 3 1/2''. Rainbow trout head and Brookie fin. Almost went a little abstract by going with parts but I tried to still make them realistic.

Added a Brown Trout I did on Friday evening.

Work in Progress 2

2009-10-21T21:30:00.003-05:00

Got it pretty well done now but still need to do some shading and touch ups. I'll give it a day or two to look at before I do that. Not really sure if I like painting life sized flies or not. Not as much fun as the big ones. I'm happy with the bass colors, didn't want it to get too dark.

Work in progress

2009-10-20T22:15:00.004-05:00

Here is my progression on a Smallmouth Bass painting I started this evening. Got quite a ways but quit now that I'm getting a little tired. The room at the bottom is for some flies that I have sketched on there, you can kind of see some of the pencil marks. Not sure how it will work out but wanted to do something different.

Perch

2009-10-18T22:32:00.003-05:00

Here is a commissioned piece I've just finished of a young boys first fish. Tried for a 1950's fish identification guide look. Some might think that this is a little old fashioned style of painting... so I'm old fashioned. hehehe

Bluegill

2009-10-13T19:11:00.000-05:00

Here is a recent commission I did. It's nice to have a beautiful fish as the subject, makes things easier for me. :-)
