First painted trout

This 8" rainbow was my first attempt at painting a fish. It's a half body carved from basswood and painted with acrylics.
When my wife saw it she remarked that it looked just like the fish I catch, then added that it was "about the same size as well"! (Thanks a lot hon. lol)

Nice job on the trout. They are difficult to paint, and you did a good job.

That is a fine looking corving and paint job.

GREAT JOB, looks like he just got pullrd out of the creek. He is a little small, your better half is right( they always are, aren't they. Mine told me she always is ). But don't throw his back, you already got him on the base. Really is a great job. When do we get to see the next one, and what is it going to be?

Many thanks for the comments guys. While it was a fun project I probably won't try another one for a while, too many other things on the go. Thanks again...

Yes, it looks just like the ones hubby catches (size looks right too!)! Great job, Reg, thanks for sharing it with us!
