Fisherman at sunset

Description

Another gift painting for another fisherman friend of mine. Challenge on this one was painting the branches of the willow tree. The canvas is four feet tall. So many times I had to load/reload the brush with black to paint the skinny drooping willow branches. Took forever. Swore to myself I would never paint another tree in my life (that didn't last though, I don't paint many trees)

This piece makes me recall happy memories of my grandfather out fishing, it was one of his hobbies that gave him a lot of joy. Nowadays, he finds pieces to the fishing rods and repairs them, makes them brand new- and even when that seems to make him happy, I still feel like I catch a bit of sadness, as if he wishes he were able to use it. Makes me sad.

But your painting makes me happy, you did a superb job on blending in warm colors and matching it up with silhouettes.
