Oil 24"x36" This is a painting I
did for a friend for Christmas.
He brought me this painting
that was painted mostly in
brown and said keep it and use
the canvas. I painted over the
whole painting and kept most
of the drawing.
You're right. It isn't that hard. People make it more complicated then it needs to be. I takes alot of ptracice to get past mentally preconcieved notions and just start casting smoothly with accuracy and control. Once you master the basics you start wanting to use a fly rod for everything. It isn't universally great in all situations, but it's the best way to present to any fish in shallow and clear water with a very natural look.
Yes Wonderful is what this brings to mind!It's my Joy my Friend to Wish You a Belated MERRY CHRISTMAS And a Happy New Years too! And Thanks for your kind comments,from these past few years, You',ve been an inspiration! Huge Hugs from John.
