Susan Spohn -- 3 Sunfish

3 Sunfish

oil on wood panel

Started this painting today. I still need to add the background and add an extra dab or two here and there. But thought I would post the painting as a work in progress. During my childhood we went fishing on lakes in Northern Minnesota all the time. My favorite fish to catch were the sunfish. Here are 3 varieties that bring back memories.

Since it is summertime, how about a fish story??? Well, that is how my painting came about today. I was walking by the river and could see old fish lines laying in the water, and then I saw a trout swim by. That made me think about the title of this painting, 'Forgotten Lines'. Here is the painting that resulted from my musings. This painting is for sale for $55.00 and will include free shipping during this month of July.
