The “Super Grand Slam” painting is done for my friend Mike Lodge. It’s a tricky process putting four fish on one piece of watercolor paper. They must be aligned perfect and there’s thought put into the order and size of each fish in the painting. Then there’s the crucial care that needs to be taken when you’re working the last fish. What if after all the work on the first three you screw up on the last? That would stink! Luckily there were no problems and the end result – I think this is a winner.
Now its time to pack my old 91 Explorer. Granny and I are going to fight through the snow and head south. Today will be a grueling drive. It’s been snowing here since Thursday with not much relief in sight. In fact, this storm is worse to the south of us then here. But we will take it easy and tonight will be our first camping night in the Explorer of the year. And a cold one I might add!
The blog should be good as the next ten days unfold. I’ll post as I can. I’ll cover our drive south and then hopefully some excellent fly fishing for carp once we get to the Phoenix, Arizona area. While waiting for the blog be sure to check in on my Instagram page where I can easily post a few pics as we go. In fact, you can also see the entire painting steps I took to create the “Super Grand Slam” painting that I posted the last few days.
Last but not least, “Currier” goods are always available. If you want to commission a painting, order a custom Cliff Box or need that “Gift for the Angler that has Everything”, its all here on the website. I should also mention my Zoom Presentations, I have a bunch so if your club needs a speaker, simply shoot me a message at Contact Jeff.
Jeff,
Beautiful painting.
I lived in Florida for 34 years – caught tarpon, snook and permit but was never lucky enough to tangle with a bonefish.

You better head down there and get one!
