Transparent Watercolor on Cresent Mat Board

First Part of a Mated Pair of Chum Salmon- Stream Version

Image Area for Part One-Female is 9" x 4.5".

Note: Non-Professional Photograph.

While this salmon appears colorful-

like many females in the animal kingdom,

she is almost dull in comparison to the Male of the Species.

The next half of this painting is the colorful half- The Male.

The Chum Salmon is found in the Northwest- most common

in the Alaska waters. It is part of my series of

Salmon and Char Species Watercolor Studies.

'Study of a Lahontan Cutthroat Trout'

Painted eariler this year in my Cutthroat Trout Series.

I was at one of my favorite venues this past weekend.

Fly Fishing Heritage Day at the Allenberry Resort

in Boiling Springs, on the Yellow Breeches.

A great plus is that my booth was

under a pavillion over looking the Yellow Breeches.

(No tent needed!)

Canvas Capers

Oversized Canvas Giclee Prints of an Arctic Char Study

and a Colorful Canvas Giclee of a Lahontan Cutthroat Trout.

Closeup of the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout Canvas Giclee.

On some of my latest prints, my Giclee Printer-

Jim Davis at Art Repro Services Had fun with

my request for a few Canvas Giclees to see how 

my clients and myself would like canvas 

instead of Paper Giclee Prints. He cam back with an assortment 

of fun prints that added more than a touch of color to my art!

I then went to one of my galleries- 

Smith Custom Framing & Fine Art Gallery

in New Cumberland, PA

www.smithcustomframing.com

And asked the owner, Debbie Smith to help. She had a free hand 

in coming up with a way to frame and present this new endeavor.

(She is the lady pictured above)

According to her- she framed to Giclee Canvas Prints with these choices:

The original sized Lahontan Cutthroat Trout with 

a neon yellow/green background was stacked with 3 frames.

The outer frame is done with Larson Juhl's Taffy line in Lemon, 

the next frame is mottled vibrant green by Presto Moulding

and accented with a Larson Juhl Light Blue Confetti fillet 

to bring out the fine outline around the fish.

The 2 oversized Giclee Canvas Prints of the Arctic Char 

are framed with Larson Juhl's fun and fanciful Taffy Profile.

On the Black Background version, Debbie used a Raspberry Taffy 

to make the Char 'pop' 

and on the white background version, she used

 the Green Apple Taffy moulding, complementing

the Arctic Char dominant colors. 

The startling differences in the 2 Char Prints is amazing! 

While I have done a few canvas prints in the past,

about a year or two ago, I never experimented with

colors and frames. Since I am excusively a

transparent watercolorist, I am not use to what was available

with the presentation found with using canvas instead of

a paper print or original double matted under glass.

This has been a real eye opener- 

that I wanted to pass onto you. I am looking for

more fun ways to explore my presentation of my art!
