THE FORESTER ARTIST

Creating art on the big canvas and the small ones too

Grasshoppers On The Loose

Posted on October 11, 2012 by foresterartist

Make sure the lid is tight or your bait will get away.

I just completed this illustration for the fish story I’m working on. The large mouth bass studies were for the same project. The media on this one is watercolor, and pen and ink. It was an easy one to reference, since all I had to do is revisit my childhood. I hope you like it.

Very cool painting, and brings back memories of trying to get a cricket out to fish with, without the others getting away.

  If when you log into wordpress and visit my blog, you will see the follow button at the top of the screen. I think if you visit without logging in it doesn’t show the follow button.
