Spring inspires my creative energies, I'm channeling those energies in the studio with new art works, painting new Mini Fly's and Cascading Waterfall pieces.
Here are some sequential photos of the process I use in creating my abstract fly fishing fly's, in this case "Mini Fly's" which are 6" x 12" rough, painted on canvas panels with acrylics.
