“I paint the flies very magnified. I paint them as accurately and proportionately as I can. I make sure I understand the textures, colors and action of the feathers, fur and materials used in each fly I paint. I like to know who originated each fly and what waters it comes from. More recently I have also enjoyed collaborating with some local tyers, painting some big, flashy pike flies. My medium is watercolor and I dabble with prisma color pencils as well.”
