I told the family I had enough stuff so they shouldn't add to the pile with Xmas gifts for me but I still found this under the tree from my part-time fishing partner and full-time daughter. Her version of my favorite fish, the stream resident Coastal Cutthroat done in gouache (whatever that is...).

I was very happy needless to say...

That would make me happy...real nice. Yer a lucky man to have a fishing partner for a daughter, or vice versa.
Merry Christmas!

Ve nice indeed, Thomas!:thumb:
Good for your daughter.

 

[Daniel Nelson]

Awesome, pretty sweet painting!

Merry Christmas!

 

[Banff Visitor]

Sounds like you are a lucky father and very blessed! In my opinion that is about as good as anything money could buy!

 

[Mumbles]

Awesome. My girls always give me little art works. I'm always appreciative. Maybe they will become as accomplished as your daughter.

 

[yuhina]

awesome! what a wonderful gift!

 

[Bob Jones]

What a beautiful gift, she must be a most wonderful daughter knowing that would please you.

 

[Matthew Gulbranson]

That's a great piece of work there! And a great gift for the guy who has it all I hope my kid will make me something like that some day.

 

[Old Man]

I got this for Fathers day a few years ago. wish I could catch one like it.

 

[Alex MacDonald]

Wow. Tom! Great art, great fish! Tell your daughter she might think about framing and selling to the shops in the area if she doesn't already.

Thanks guys. I've already 'commissioned' the sea-run form too... I'm actually thinking of getting her to do a couple small drawings of flies and getting them framed together n a shadow box sort of arrangement.

She's pretty good - she was a regional winner for the Puget Sound district in lat year's high school art competition as a freshman and had a piece of her work exhibited in the capital over the Summer. Don't know where she gets it from, I can't draw a stick man...
