Trout Theme Painted Chair

I was asked by a local person if I'd do a favor for
a Christmas present.

I always hate when folks in the community ask me how
much something would cost. Living in a northern logging
community, I know people here work VERY hard for their
often meager living...and have little understanding or
appreciation for the arts.

If I told them what I should get for something like this, I
just know they wouldn't be able to afford it, or perhaps
they might...but their values being what they are couldn't
fathom paying it.

So...I did this for a very small fee, which kinda floored my
wife, but...I said, "hey...it's Christmas you know?"

They wanted a trout fishing theme...with a creel...so I
painted a brook trout, rainbow...some flies, a creel and
fly fishing rod...
