Description
This child proudly shows off the Walleye he has just pulled in from Lake Erie while on a fishing trip with his grandfather...my Dad. The child is my son, Adam, as an 8-year-old. When I first showed him this painting, what excited him the most was that he was wearing his favorite "Killington" shirt at the time!

What a family treasure this is sure to be for years to come, Barbara. I used to go fishing with my grandfather when I was 8, and we have a family picture that is almost the same as this painting. Adam is indeed fortunate to have such a talented mom. like/f

GREAT WORK.. and very detailed brushstrokes work on canvas!! How long time did you need to finish your wc painting? Love it!
Barbara Jewell replied:
Many thanks, Jason! I never really keep track of the time when I paint, but including the drawing, I'm sure I spent several hours a day on it for about a week.

This is such a beautiful painting and so well done. Bright cheerful colors and so realistic.

Very nice.. the fish is awesome and so are the creases on the boys shirt....colors are deep and almost gives the impression of oil paint. F

Thank you, Sonali, for your wonderful comments and F! My son's favorite part of this painting is his shirt...because he got it at his favorite ski mountain. :-))
