Hallo everybody!
This week I finished this Atlantic salmon spawning color. 

[Dave Smith]

Ooooh, those are both great. What a great Atlantic Salmon- very nice- and that smallmouth had me do a double-take! How do yo post pics? Have I posted enough to be able to? Does this site host images or do I need to publish them to a seperate web page? Thanks! Not saying that I WILL, but just incase I get the courage- he he.    Dave

   This is my first attempt at a reproduction--early '06.  I posted it on the old forum to get a critique.  I used a Wynia blank and acrylic paints w/a Paasche H airbrush.  I didn't use a schedule--just a pic of the fish I was trying to reproduce(20.5" CPR'd by my son)

Another one of my doodles....I have to claim artistic license on this one. I was going for something vivid or maybee even a little abstract on his markings. I did this one with crayola markers.lol

Heys guys, here a few smallies I finished this week for a wholesale customer. There is also a redfish skin mount in one of the pics. I love this thread! Its great to see everyones contributions. Great work everybody, keep it up!

[Ken Edwards]

Pete, you linked to a html (webpage code) page on your photosite, rather than directly to the jpg (image) file. I fixed it for you.

[ArtistPete]

I won't ask how ya did it but thanks Ken!

Here's a couple I finished up before bears season. I am just starting to get back into the painting mood since returning last month. I am not the best photographer, but am practicing.

Very Nice stuff everyone
ArtistPete- Extremely nice for your first repro!
Redstag- Awesome!!!
Bigun- Awesome!!!

I have a 30" spawning male Brown Trout (custom reproduction)
The paint was initially done without tippings(as many salmonids loose them as they become colored up for the spawn)
The client later decided he wanted "the best of both worlds" so I added the tippings to liven it up.

[ArtisticAnglerInc.]

Those scale tippings are amazing!  I am always impressed by this thread.

[ArtistPete]

Talk about some great pics!!! Man, I like 'em all! Looks like I've got a ways to go but I'm sure you guys will be givin' some tips in the future.  BIGUN--ya gotta tell a bit about those pics.  I'm a flat artist so those realy interest me how you incorporate that background art into your mounts.  Are those repros?  And how 'bout that close-up of that tippin' job?  wow.  I hope the pics keep comin!!!
