Our valley is world-renowned for its fly-fishing, drawing some of the finest anglers on earth to our rivers, creeks, and reservoirs. With this original canvas, I wanted to plunge beneath the surface and explore a real story of grit right here in our local ecosystem: the annual run of the Kokanee salmon. This piece is all about raw perseverance—capturing the salmon as they fight upstream with everything they have, driven by a hardwired mission to breed.
The painting is an absolute flurry of motion, packed with a dense school of fish shimmering in brilliant shades of electric blue, fiery crimson, and molten gold. Thick, heavily textured brushstrokes carve out their scales and shapes, making the water vibrate with a chaotic, unyielding energy. Right in the lower section, my signature “Corn” is woven directly into the scales of a salmon navigating the current. It is a piece that honors the heavy, beautiful cycle of nature and celebrates the sheer determination to push forward against all odds.
