Dirty Dozen- Sketch of Pheasant Tail Nymph

Posted in Fly fishing, fishing, printmaking, woodcut, tagged , , , , , on January 4, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Looking back on 2009 I got away from the things I love most.  One of the things I love is fly fishing.  Another is art.  I cant say that about running a non-profit art organization.  Becoming a gallery director is not on my list of things to do before I die.  So 2010 is [...]

“A Room With A View”, Watercolor, 8×11
This is more or less a sketch of an idea for a 3D piece in the future.  The writing in the middle says,…
“As the day breaks over the Au Sable,
a Chickadee sings and Blue Jays squabble.  
Warmth and down are what I love,
but a deep cool breath of morning [...]

Fishing Weekend @ Devils Lake

Posted in fishing, tagged , , , on September 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve been spending a lot of time fishing Devils Lake lately.  About ten days ago I went out with a friend on a Thursday night.  The wind was strong out of the East and the fishing was poor.  As the saying goes..”wiind from the East, fish bite the least”.  Between the two of us we [...]

Hendrico

This is also collaborative piece.  The title for this comes from Hendrickson, which is the name of a Mayfly.  It was fun trying the scraffitto technique but I am moving on to other methods of decoration.  I did one slim pot using a cuerda seca technique but it didnt turn out.  I used too much [...]
