Fishing

3

My son and I have never once, that I can think of, had a disagreement. We really get along well, and have done so since he was born. I think it probably is because I always took him fishing. We’d get up early in the morning, load the canoe on top of the car, and drive up into the mountains. We had a few favorite lakes we loved to fish at. Not only did we catch several thousand trout, we had time to talk, joke, and tell stories

Here is Jared with a rainbow on his line. Note the sunlight is coming from the left side of the painting. There is a sliver of light on his arms, face, leg, and life preserver. The inside of the canoe on the right side of the painting is red, while the left side is dark. There is reflected light from the orange life jacket on his face. Small portions of the trees have sunlight on them, but the rest is in shadow.

I have many fond memories of fishing with my daddy. I think the water and canoe in this painting are beautiful, and I love that you can tell which direction the Sunday is shining down from.

I love the memory of the day this painting is from. Fishing and art, 2 of my favorite things!
