I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all my fellow anglers, hunters and outdoors folks
a very Merry Christmas and Happy and prosperous New Year.
May 2011 keep you near the water as much as possible

After my flyfisherman I dragged this out of the vault that it's been sitting in and finally put the finishing touches on it.
Now we don't need the TV fireplace
Merry Christmas Everyone
Here it is
"Council Fire" 24 x 20
People use to laugh at me when I was fishing years ago when Lindners were fairly new on the scene and I was using techniques I learned on his tv show.
I use to say well "Al says...."
They stopped laughing when they were netting MY fish
I get asked this quite frequently actually.
I took the original pricing off the site as some of the work I have on there is in Galleries and they did'nt feel comfortable. People can e-mail me in case what they're lookin at is'nt in a gallery.
That print pricing just comes with the website and is in the US and I just leave that for people on the web that don't know me---In Canada I use a local printer and the pricing is better.
Anyway I try to avoid the whole sales angle here on the board cause it gets a li'l spammy
I put this on here cause we all have the fishing/hunting and outdoors in common and sometimes it's a break from hockey jabs.
And like in this case the fly guys helped me out.
Thanks Again
Ok boys don't critique too closely yet
I just laid in some colour---lots to hi-lite yet
Just showing you I went with a yellow/green line---casting
It's also a close up on the subject---more background comin as well
Thanks again
Just a quick question if I may...
I'm currently working on a fly fishing painting
So far I've got my angler underpainted--gonna be in waders in a river
Now my first intent was to have him doing a roll cast with the line hilited through the air
I figured casting was something you were all very proud of..
I wonder now if having a fish busting the surface across the river may be more proper---either way fish or cast it'll be across the stretch of river.
So I guess my question is what do you think depicts fly fishing more?
Oh yeah one more---what's a popular line colour?--Obviously I'm a spin fishing guy
