I have painted girls or women fishing in the past but more recently my fishing paintings have been of men. I was asked to correct this disproportionate ratio of men to women fishing. There are indeed - a lot of women fisher-people in the world. I count myself among these women although I have to admit that I do not clean my own fish. I am thankful to have a husband, brother, brother in laws, dad and even my Mom to clean my fish.
I got side-tracked there. So - this painting is based on a young woman who was fishing off of a boat near our house last summer. She had a nice easy going attitude and seemed to be enjoying the fishing and atmosphere on the lake.
