The Month in Fish Pictures" ~Year 5~ June 2011 !!!!!!!!

A warm welcome from Hinsdale New Hampshire! What an outstanding Month in Fish pictures this past last month as I took sometime this morning and looked at some truly inspiring works of fish art! Back from the “ATQ” the Quebec Taxidermist association show in Drummensville, Quebec, Canada I was reminded how important it is to attend your local are taxidermy shows. I have had the privilege to have been a Seminar instructor and a judge there several times over the years and I have seen great improvement and truly some incredible work from folks who continue to improve and progress with their art of taxidermy. This is all a benefit of attend a taxidermy convention! Support your local taxidermy association go there to meet new friends or juts to see the old friends but go to learn as much as you can!

I want to thank all the Veterans out there as well for the sacrifice and dedication to service for country and citizen that we are so blessed to have and be able to thank such individuals for the opportunity to live in the USA as free citizens under God! I thank all the veterans past and present for all that you do! God Bless each and every one of you!

We share in fish pictures to find a common place with friendliness and positive comments of motivation as a great place to start in upward in direction of inspiration in being a fish taxidermist! I wish all the best to folks competing in the up coming year 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!!!!
