bowhunt Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 My wife decided to do something special for me for Christmas this year. She knows I like all of the well known spearing paintings, and some of them are pretty spendy. So instead of spending the money to get one of those she decide to paint me one of my own. I think it turned out great, and wanted to show it off. Let me know what you think. I couldn't ask for a better present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamalex72 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 That is very nice. Was it a surprise, or did you know she was painting it? Either way, it's super cool that she did it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamalex72 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 If you look close at the last painting in that series, you will see the cans are in his box with the fish. You can even see the tine marks in the cans from spearing them off the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure most people that see these paintings don't know that and just think Spear fisherman are slobs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhunt Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Sham, She came up with the idea, but she wanted input from me on what I wanted it to look like. So I helped pick out the shape of the fish, the type of weeds, and the decoy is based off of my Whittier decoy. She also allowed me to give input while she was painting to help get all of the colors just right.Now I just need to look into getting it professionally framed so it can last me the rest of my life.Thanks for all the great comments everyone. I figured you all would be able to appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
