The Week in Fish Pictures~ Year 3# Week# 7

A warm and hearty Hello from. Hinsdale New Hampshire!  Well it has been a bit warm here as of late I think my new friend Martin Green brought the warm weather with him from Australia. Another week has come and gone and we sure keep raising the bar of inspiration and the pursuits of better fish work my fellow Fish Heads!

In the next few weeks I hope to share Martins work with you he is learning here with us for the next month. Martin enjoys the Taxi net and has been inspired enough to leave his home for the first time to get on an airplane and travel 26 hours in pursuit of his dreams. Now that is inspiring!

great looking work! the Tarpon is sweet! and really like the color of that bass

[UFD]

Wow, that is some superb looking fish work, both from a distance and up close - very well done Eddie and Pat!  I look forward to seeing more of both of your work in the years to come.

Yay! - another Brown Trout came up on my backlog list, and here it is.  This is a Dennis Arp 28" cast.  It had really l-o-n-g jaws that kind of made it look like an Atlantic Salmon, but I sliced and diced them down to something more typical.  This first picture is one taken in incandescent light, and the second one is taken in flourescent light.  It never ceases to amaze me how different light brings out certain colors more prominently than others.

[UFD]

...and the flourescent lighting picture.

[Red stag]

Eddie and Pat!!! Very nice.  UFD - Love your trout   

[rp]

Geez

Nice bass and Tarrpon there. Uncle Dave awsome work as usuall. Whish that one day I would be able to paint like that.
Rick thanks for the kind words, still trying to improve and the help that I get from all u fishheads in the US really helps alot.

[Chad See]

Eddie, Pat, UFD..... starting off the week with a BANG!  Very impressive work.  Being a brown trout guy myself, I have to give props to UFD, I really like that fish.  Your paint never ceases to amaze me. 

[Bill4bass]

Wow, That bass is gorgeous. What a great job.

[fishtail]

Rick, Thanks for the kind words. If your'e ever in Oregon again, let me know ahead of time as I would like to meet you.

That bass is very nice. I really like the closed mouth version. I wish more of my customers would request that. Nicely done!!
That Tarpon is excellent as well.

UFD- I really like the brown! Lokks great in either light!

This week I had to change to a warm water fish, so it took some adjusting. This is a 8lbs 11oz Largemouth and the blank was from Bev's. I've also included my customers pic of the actual fish. 

[fishtail]

Head shot of the bass.

[TomL]

Excellent bass fishtail.  You nailed it, perfect match to the live picture.  Beautiful fish everyone else.

[Travis Jones]

Cool thanks Rick. I really like Eddies work and thats a sweet bass. Those shadows on the head just make that fish POP!!!!  Pat you know I love the awesome "mountain" tarpon. LOL  The head detail on that guys is second to none.

Nice work to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    Keep em coming!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chad See]

Here is a hen brown trout I finished up this week.  It was a first for me as I have never done a hen before.
