August 2011 Juried Invitational Exhibition

This painting was done as part of SOJIE 12
Artists were asked to pair up with photographers to create their translation of a selected photograph. I based this painting on Brian Pelkey’s amazing photograph:

Dance of the Trout
by Brian Pelkey
I was captivated by the amazing dynamic action he captured and by the serenity of a frozen moment.
As you can see, I added my own spin on it:)

Please check out the Solo exhibition forum linked above, I and all the other artists posted WIP’s along the creative process -some fascinating things! Very educational and a great social event too.

The final painting is painted on Arches 300Lbs with W&N paints. The size of the original is 22×15″.
