The Some Texas Artists Like to Paint blog has a different theme each month and for September it's "fish". Not having any idea what I would contribute, I looked through some past photographs and found this, a guy fishing in the stream in downtown Pagosa Springs. We were fortunate to spend a week with friends in Colorado last year and I remember snapping this photo from a bridge along the river walk. Thought the overhead view and foreshortened figure looked a little abstract amidst the water and rocks.
I can see why this view caught your attention, Ann. This is a lovely piece! What a rocky river/stream this is! Love the shirt around this man's waist too!
ReplyDeleteReally great job with such a tough angle. So interesting. Love the colors in the water. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI really like this! You did an excellent job of catching the motion of the man's body. The water and rocks are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLovely piece Ann, a very difficult perspective but you pulled it off. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Ann. I think rocks are so difficult and you did so many of them!
ReplyDeleteThis is really great, I immediately got the feeling of translucent water! Nice piece!
ReplyDeleteOh, this one really caught my eye Ann. Love the way you painted the rocks... almost an abstract... and then caught just the right 'angle' on the figure. Very well done!!
ReplyDeleteI like your fishing painting. You captured the intent of the fisherman. Very nice.
