Back in 2002 I began an oil painting series based on vintage fishing tackle from my father and grandfather. As a young boy, I recall looking through my father's tackle box and examining the colors, the shine of the metal, and patterns that these lures portrayed. It was my plan through this series to capture these unique qualities that these objects possess. I have recently begun additional paintings to add to this series.
"An Odd Couple"
"Nature Lure"
Three paintings from this series were published in the 2003 February issue of Log Home Design Ideas.
