About two weeks ago I received an e-mail from a blog reader from Maryland. He was inquiring about several posts on the color variations of wild brook trout. The man is an artist and had completed a water color painting of a brook trout and wanted my opinion on the coloration. In the photo sent to me I could see a brook trout just removed from a dark stream in eastern Connecticut, a brook trout that I am very familiar with. I responded to the e-mail photo with "it's beautiful". After another e-mail I requested a copy of the print, and the other day I received the print...free of charge.
Below is "Brook Trout" and the artist is David Scheirer.
Some thoughts on this fine painting, when I brought the print to the framing shop the gentleman commented on what spectacular work it was. He said lets sit down and make sure we can create a frame that would compliment and highlight such a jewel. As you can see he did just that. I would like to thank David for the gift. The painting will hang above my fly tying desk.
that's beautiful!

Scott art is in many forms and many look at it in such a way as is most pleasing to them. You do agree it is fine work.
Beautiful job by David. What a fine gift.

Sam I'm not an artist but I'm told the brook trout is a difficult fish to paint.
A master at it is James Prosek and Davids painting is right up there.
A picture is worth a thousand words!! Awesome Brk Trt!

Brad your tying area must be something. I can imagine you sitting down to tie a fly and just by looking around you have put yourself on the stream.
Beautiful, Alan! Gorgeous art and an extraordinary frame job also. "Every Picture Tells A Story".
