The Day's Last Cast

The Day's Last Cast  14"x 11"  oil    The color of this sunset was blazing, at the end of this day in B.C. Sunsets can dazzle  the eye a little too much. When this dries a bit, I think I need to reduce the value contrast in the figure. It will help put focus back onto the color of the scene. Just wanted to post it for now and think about it.

Any Rises? 14" x 11" oil   This is a scene from the Willimson River that runs through Yamsi Ranch in Oregon.  I did a brief sketch and took photos. The light was soft but bright and it showed up the lightstruck edges of the figures nicely. This couple was staying at the Ranch, and were just about to go out and try their luck.

Winter Reward 11"x 14" oil    Here's a composition using a cold day of fishing and a neutral color scheme. I used a few warm tones to contrast and bring a little life to the figure and dry grass in the forground.

No Begonias   14" x 11" oil   sold  I really enjoy painting fly fishermen and am beginning several more  fishing figures for daily paintings. So Steve, lest you imagine that I'm painting too many begonias at the expense of fly fishers, here's one you might enjoy!
