The last set of cards was for my parents. Their anniversary and my Dad's birthday are a few days apart so I painted a lure (one of my Dad's favourite hobbies is fishing) and a ship (Ma and Pa Saylor must also embrace my nautical obsession).

| Pencil lines. |
 |
| A sweep of blue in the background. |
 |
| Most of the colour in and starting the outline. |
 |
| Viola! One fishing lure. |
I've been looking for a good excuse to use
Jessica's ship book as a reference for a painting. This was the perfect opportunity!
 |
| Pencil lines and light blue background done. |
 |
| A bit of the ship done and a corner of my palette and laptop. |
 |
| Finished! The water was my favourite part. |
I was so happy to hear that my parents loved them. I made some high quality scans of these before sending them off s a few of my mail art friends may find a print in their mailbox over the coming months.

my dad was a big fan of fishing, and had LOTS of gear. i've discovered some amazing fishing lures among his collection. love your watercolor version. :)
ReplyDeleteThe fishing lure is wonderful! I love it's little eye, strangely expressive for a fishing lure!
