Some times I like to deviate from my normal work and try something different. This 5 x 7 watercolor is a South Carolina Plantation with a few artistic freedoms added for effect. I don't often paint structures or buildings but this old southern mansion stood out as something I thought would look good in a painting. I kept the style of this piece a bit loose and sketched as one would do if painting on site. Who knows, maybe I'll use this in a larger work some day. I know this has nothing to do with fish or flies but figured I'd share it anyway.
What Is This Blog About?
On January 1st 2010 I started posting one original painting or drawing a day for an entire year. Mixing my love of Fly Fishing with my Painting, the posts are centered around the subject of flies, fish, and the art of Fly Fishing. On December 31 2010 my mission ended but my love of catching fish and painting them lives on. So this blog lives on even if the posts are not updated daily. Fly Fishing Art with Fishing reports and Gear reviews, this blog is your source for all things fishy.
If you enjoy fly fishing and the art of the fly or fly tying, I hope you enjoy this blog. Most of the paintings posted here are for sale as well as the Fish Prints so if you are interested in any of the art here please Email me at jmdjdejong@gmail.com for details or just visit the BUY A FISH PRINT page.
