DAVE'S CATCH


8x8 oil on canvas board

Dave is one of my plein air painting buddies and a man of many talents, not only can he catch his own fish, he can cook them up, too! This is another one of my little 1 hour painting studies and was so much fun to paint. This month's painting challenge for Some Texas Artists Like to Paint is fish, take a look here for more paintings on this subject. Thanks for the photo reference, Dave!

Beautifully painted, Angela. Your brushwork gives the scales of the fish a wonderful shine!

Love the colors you used in this one, Angela! Gives me the feeling that I could reach right in there and feel their scales, too!
Hey - thanks for stopping by.

Hi Angela, saw this painting in Vern's sidebar and it got my attention immediately. I think this is a fantastic piece! I wanted to go on over and submit a fish painting too but I noticed it's only for the Texans. That's a good way to showcase artist in your state.

Great use of golds in their fins and tails - it looks great against those greens!

This is fantastic, Angela. Love the composition, thick paint and the strong values. Beautiful job.
