Blue Cheek Trout

This Brown Trout has some nice features.  I wanted to deepen the feel of the spawning colors and provide a substantial backround to strengthen the overall look of of this girthy beauty.  I really enjoyed stepping a little more outside of my typical style.  Gradually I will let go a little further. 


5.5" x 8"  Water Color on cold press 140 lb. 
See if you can guess where I found the model for this Trout.  Here's a hint...one of my Favorite Blogs...and there hasn't been a post in a long time...i'll reveal in a few weeks once there have been a few stabs where she came from.
Can't wait to get this framed...it's going to look legit!
By the way...she's for sale...just shoot me an email.

    Very nice. The detail you're able to portray with your water colors is amazing.

    My answer in the form of a question is 'What is Glassy Waters?'

    Well as Sean Connery on SNL would say - "You’ll rue the day you crossed me Trebek!"
