This is the various stages of Part One of my next Watercolor Study

'Watercolor Study of a Mated Pair of Desert Whitetail Dragonflies-

(Plathernis subornata of the family Libellula)'

I was fascinated by this species due to the dramatic mating colors

found on the male (I call it Carolina Blue, since I went to UNC)

versus the marking on the female- which are sepia with

beautiful gold markings on its body.

 They will be mounted in a frame side by side- when finished.

There is almost a limitless number of Darter Species

My wife says they should be Caribbean Reef Fish

Taimen Trout (Giant Eurasian Trout)



Transparent Watercolor on Crescent Mat Board

Image Size: 10" x 4.5". Second Image in the 'Trout of Mongolia' Painting

Non-Professional Photograph

The Taimen Trout is the world's Largest Trout (Huncho taimen) 

with a record catch of 231lbs!! Also known as the Mongolian Terror,

the Giant Eurasian Trout, the Siberian Salmon.

The most common bait is a mouse or a rat.

Or if fly fishing- a large artificial mouse.

The Taimen Trout is being framed with my watercolor study

of the Lenok Trout in a Double Watercolor Image Framing

titled "Trout of Mongolia. This is my second double

painting of Asian Fish - with the first being titled

'Trout of India' with the Indian Trout and Tibetan Snowtrout

that are really carp that have the appearance of trout-

therefore, are named as they are.

You can view the 'Trout of India' on my website.

The Taimen is an amazing trout, as a typical trout is only

2 or 3 lbs, and the Taimen Trout can weigh 100X as much!!

Both are very large trout with the Lenok

getting  over 20 lbs. and the Taimen(Giant Eurasian Trout)

getting over 200lbs!! A 2 pounder for a normal trout

is considered a good catch!

I finally finished the second watercolor study of

a mated pair of Chum Salmon.  The Male Freshwater Version

is one of my all time favorite fish.

The Chum Salmon is found in the Northwest waters,

mainly in Alaska. They are great to EAT!

Even better to paint.

As in other paintings, I will be framing the two

watercolor studies in one frame.
