Trout and Reflected Tree — Fine Art

Trout and Reflected Tree - 1985 shows a fish shape held above a dark tree reflection in water. The paint sits in short strokes that turn the surface into bands of green and brown. The marks press harder along the water line and ease off at the top.

A fine art print set in a frame with a back panel keeps those strokes flat on the paper. The frame adds a clean edge so the painted line does not drift at the sides.

In a dining room it sits on the long wall beside the table. From the chair you read the fish first, then notice the reflection breaking into small strokes.
