South Fork at Exit 32

Another South Fork painting from my year exploring the river.  This is a spot that I’ve fished on this river for years and was the primary spot I would go to for the last several seasons before I decided to branch out this year.  This season I fished this water about a half dozen times and also used it as a good spot to teach new tenkara anglers since there is a good beach area to teach casting at which also holds some nice cutthroat.

This scene is also the basis for my Northwest Tenkara logo.  I started with the same photo then posterized it in Adobe Elements, reduced the colors more and did some hand tweaking.   Finally I added the border and the tenkara テ.  

Only 5 paintings left to do!   I think there are two more that will be of the South Fork to cover a few more sections of the river.
