The Week in Fish Pictures~ Year 2# Week#8

Welcome from Lima Center Wisconsin!. I'm posting a bit early this week to say Happy Thanksgiving to all and start the week off with a note of thanks to all of you who contribute here on The Week in Fish Pictures! What a great time here in Wisconsin and some truly nice folks up there for sure that I have got to see and meet while I'm here!

Last week was a great week again with lots of great fish work!!!I really loved to see the old mixed with the new. It sure was fun for me to see the work of so many of you gifted folks from your early attempts at what we do! Great fun we'll do this again in the year for sure!

Week #8 of the second year was great and lots of truly tremendous works of art! I love to see new folks show up and show there stuff and it is a gift always to have the faithful each week show their talent too!!

From beginner's to the best in the world we all join in every week in a critique free and hassle free string with nothing more then great artist and inspiring fish taxidermist and carves get together to share with one another their praise and inspiration of good will and friendship to one another.
So with out further ado lets get week #8 under way.

I want to start the week with a Good friend of all of us Mr. Joshua Knuth! Kathie, Miss Amber and your truly got to visit with Josh while visiting here in Wisconsin. Josh and his wife ( well for that matter his whole family) are such gifted and talented people/ Artists! I sure had a great time spending some time at Josh's studio and his home which is well dispaled with wonderful art work! I want to start the week off with a few of Josh's projects in progress. Josh is a gifted and immensely talented sculptor and mold maker for sure!

So here we go and here is to a great week #8! Enjoy!

My Best!
Your friend
Rick Krane

Josh how lucky you are to be sourounded by fantastic artists.   3 great artists to inspire each other daily.   Some people have to go to work and others love to go to work It wouldn't be hard to guess where you fall.

Thanks alot Ken. Hello again everyone and Happy Thanksgiving. Here's a couple of photos of some of my most recent work. My new buddy and soon to be teacher, the amazing Rick Krane, posted my bass last week but this is a better and finished photo. The crappie is my first repro. crappie. Josh you and your family are amazing artist.

[Travis Jones]

Ok something still didn't do right I'll try again later.

[Jknuth]

hey Travis
Looks great from what I can see!
Painting replicas for some is a daunting task. The kind of work that needs to be done in baby steps.
Rick will really help you out!
