Fishing

River trout, sea trout and salmon, caught, mainly on dry fly, on chalk streams in the Southern Counties of England and salmon streams in Scotland; taken, netted, landed, dispatched, painted, gutted, eaten and framed by the artist. He is prepared to join individual fishermen, or fishing parties, and paint the catch, life-size in mixed media, on the river-bank. The perfect momento for a good day's fishing.
