Fine Brook Trout Art

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.

If you would like to contact David, he can be found here. http://www.dswatercolors.com/

      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.

      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.

      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.
