Big Fish

oil on canvas -- 40x60"

The inspiration for this one came when I was rummaging through a drawer, looking for an 8" square cake pan. Found this copper fish mold and that was my "aha!" moment. Things kind of mushroomed after that. I do own a big stuffed fish (found in a redneck's garage sale), but in reality, it's pretty ratty-looking, with a missing fin). Prettied it up for the painting.
