A study in light and fly fishing, this painting depicts a vintage pair of 1970s fishing snips. A gift from an esteemed outdoorsman, the tool is rendered with close attention to the way winter light defines the form and surface, emphasizing edges, reflections, and patina. Mounted on canvas, presented in a custom floating frame, and finished with Dorland’s wax, the piece is protected and preserved to maintain its depth and color over time.
