"The Colors of Fall"
 
This colored pencil study is based on an amazing photo taken by a friend (whose also an amazing fly fisherman.) 
 
I was so taken by this composition I spent in excess of 50 hours trying to reproduce the subtle, iridescent colors. 
 
While I am pleased with the result as a piece of art, it falls far short of the real thing.  This is a subject I will be revisiting.
 
I'm also considering doing a giclee print.  If you would like to own this image, let me know and I will get a hi-res scan done.  
 
Simple pen study of a steelhead.  This is actually my first attempt at getting the "rust out" of my drawing hand a little over a year ago.
