thanks bud! I appreciate the kind words! If you ask me, art is just practice and patience. most people give up way too early. my first fish looked nothing like that!
Obsessed with Redfish

sighting fishing for striped bass just aint nearly the same

I was born and raised in central FL, relocated to the eastern shore of AL for work. Had FSHNRED as a Florida tag for 15 or 16 years.
Hey a redfish even I can catch! the finless one that cant swim away when i spook it!
slowly getting there!

that's awesome! I keep telling myself I'm going to carve a wooden fish just so i can paint one, but just never get around to it! art takes forever!
Will compliment you again, @david.riina, subtle and stunning. And damn nice @Teeter - what kind of wood is that?
As a carver, I'm pretty sure you'll appreciate this artist who's up my way (not to mention the prices he gets) - Figurative — CHAD AWALT - and believe me, the photos don't do his work justice. Fun note - he scrounges most of his wood, likes finding pieces that look like they've been through a lot.
Great work, gents - keep sharing!

Weeks, but only did it in my spare time.
Ive repainted the scales 3 times now...
i think i finally got the shape / size correct.
not easy when ive only caught 1 redfish good thing i took 234 photos of it .
false albacore invaded the cape this weekend, along with 200 boats, 45 kayaks, and 20 shore fisherman.
all for a bo-bo

much happier with the tail section scales. one or two randoms to fix but at least the size of the scales is accurate now.
time to finally finish this up! damn albies are here to distract me!
