Description
Inspired by the books in the painting, I wanted to create a surreal painting highlighting the books and having them come to life. The brown trout is chasing the fish and the crayfish through the bookcase. Mayflies perch on the bookcase and books. The flies in the wallet were fun to create along with the black and white picture.

so well conceived and executed...compels me to wander around it for a while and enjoy! Adore the photo of the young boy with his 'catch' and the fishing lures! jean

Thank you Jean! I loved making up that little snapshot of the boy along the river! I did two of these, and have thought about another. These paintings take me about a month to do because there are infinite choices to make in what to paint in and how the creatures and the background and going to interact with each other!
