Tiger Muskie


So my father in law saw the other painting I did of a fish on a piece of wood so he said he really would like one too but of a tiger muskie on a piece of lumber he had lying around the garage. It was actually pretty hard because the wood was not sanded (to keep the rustic look), so getting smooth paint lines was a challenge. The end of the wood actually had a natural curve that I used to look like part of the fish's tail. Also the top of the lumber had a natural dark strip that I chose to be the length of the fish and to also look like a shadow. Oh and no the tree and grass is not apart of the painting. Its just resting on the deck railing outside. :)
