The title page for the fish story.
I finished the title page for the fish story. It is a fairly simple watercolor. It still took about five watercolor sketches to get what I wanted. I hope it makes you think BIG FISH!
School of trout.
I took a few fish reference pictures the other day, although these were Rainbow Trout. In a beautiful mountain stream.
Blitz finds a fish for me. “Hey Blitz that one is dead.”
Blitz goes back to what she does best.
A Golden Retriever isn’t very helpful when taking fish pictures. Just don’t tell her that, I wouldn’t want to spoil her fun.
THE FORESTER ARTIST 
Lovely post! And such a cute Golden Retriever, my one, Franco, behaves exactely like Blitz.
Enjoy your weekend.

Thank you. Putting Blitz in the Blog is purely gratuitous, after all who can resist a golden retriever.

Bright title page! Pleasant color. The Blitz meister, is doing what they do best. Inquisitive and retrieving. All our boys have a knack for staring down in the water for moving things, with Santee doing his diving, as an extra curiousity. A dead fish….well thats just an added smelly bounty!:0
Can’t wait to see the artist in person!:)

I admit, I don’t fish; so it took me some time, but I knew that bobber! When I was very little, my Grandaddy let me play with one while “he” fished. This is very cool.
