The Week in Fish Pictures" ~Year 4~ Week # 41-42 !!!!!!!!
A very warm hello from the Mid West of the USA and the Great State of Indiana!!! It has been a busy month visiting NC, NJ, MN and now in Indiana seeing friends and teaching Fish Workshops! It is rewarding personally to be able to share with others the teachings of fish taxidermy we all love to do!
This week the great members of the Association of Indiana Taxidermist are hoisting an Anglers Artistry hands on fish workshop at the Shop of my good friend Mr. Brad Jones of Cicero Indiana! It is a full house and there will lots of fun working with the members of the AIT I hope to share some cool pictures with you all soon!
I want to mention that a great friend Lou Gagliano and his wife Silva stopped by NH for the 2 days I was home to visit and any one who knows Lou’s work you know he is an legionary taxidermist and Mammal sculptor for sure I shared with Lou TWIFP which he had not seen before and he is hooked on the incredible work you all do! Lou wanted me to pass that on you all!
In the past 2 weeks Breathtaking displays of many incredible fish are shared across the cyber world and in to the homes of fellow taxidermist and clients alike! I enjoy seeing the progression and the raw talent of the dedicated contributors! Friendliness and positive comments of motivation is a great place to start in upward direction of inspiration! I wish all the best to folks competing in the up coming months and I do wish all the very best in the pursuits of good fish work!
I do hope you have the opportunity to be thankful for your gifts of great passion and talent as an artist! It is a blessing to me for our lives to be joined from time to time to share and learn from one another so thank you for your great taxidermy work and my your lives continue to be blessed with inspiration!!!!
