Patience on the Joe

"Patience on the Joe" watercolor 12.5x3.5 - $95.0
 A little watercolor of a fishing friend on the St. Joe River in Idaho. It was a great day with the beauty all around, and the weather was pleasant, but the fish outsmarted us that day. Send me a photo of you or a friend fly-fishing, Maybe I will make you into a work of art! See the demo Here below as well. Price listed is unframed, Email me if interested in seeing and purchasing this work framed or a print (print price - $29.00). Click Here to purchase via Paypal


Here is a step by step demo of the progression of how this little work came to be. After the drawing, I pretty much worked from dark to light, saving the whites. No masking fluid on this one, quick loose strokes wherever I could. Colors were mainly Azo yellow, sap green, paynes gray and ultramarine blue. a bit of cad yellow, and winsor green, and whatever brown was dried up in my pallette, probably burnt umber.

This is a painting of a view of Alaska I photographed  from a trip I was blessed to get to take with my son Last Summer (2013) It was great. I was hosted by my old college roomie. It was a great time seeing all of God's beauty and catching and eating Salmon. I hope to go again someday. See below some of the photos of the trip, and a map of where we were when we captured this view of some of Alaska's Mountains and Meadows. I may make some prints of this image, email or message me if interested. The original is for Martin and Robin. Below is the Map of where we were. See the green locator.
