For some reason I had the urge to sketch up a Steampunk Trout Submarine, go figure… If your’e interested in buying prints drop me a line using the “contact me” page up above.
It has been a while in the making – but it has finally happened. Rise Forms Magazine has gone live. Please go check it out. The first issue has poetry, fiction, narrative, a book review and artwork (and all with fly fishing at the heart).  Old Man: watercolor by Sharon Lynn Williams
Trout live in many places – western wilderness, mid-western coulee country, limestone rich valleys of central Pennsylvania, the old mountains of the east. Though different, all of these places have their own charm. The landscapes through which trout streams run evoke deep-rooted feelings in me. For many fly fishers it is simply being in the environs of trout water that holds much of the appeal. So although the landscapes of Calgary based painter, Sharon Lynn Williams, are not technically “fly-fishing art”, they can captivate the mind of the fly fisher with their inherent “troutiness”.

I stumbled upon Sharon’s Art Blog a while back, and was taken with her landscapes. They just look like somewhere that I want to be – ideally with fly rod in hand and some rising trout. She was kind enough to allow me to share some images with you all – so head on over to her Almost Daily Art Blog and check out more of her work.  Fire Sky at Ghost Lake: Oil painting by Sharon Lynn Williams Over at A Year On The Fly blogger and artist Joel DeJong has been working at an ambitious project; to post a work of fly fishing art each day this year. As a blogger taking on a similar (but less ambitious project – Daily Fly Fishing Poem for September 2010) I can understand and appreciate the commitment required in this undertaking. In his words:
His posted art for today is a Tenkara Midge. He’s also made a request – he’d like folks to send him some ideas and photos to help fill out the calendar year. So give his site a visit and send along some ideas, maybe your photo will get transformed into art.
