"Bo" the 18" Rainbow Trout
In early July 2014, I began carving an 18" Rainbow Trout (pictured below). By September 2014, I had the general shape of the fish carved and had it scaled (approximately 10,000 scales). Painting the piece and crafting its base was an exhaustive process. I jokingly say that "Bo" was born on April 25, 2015.
I've shared photos of the creative process through my artist page on Facebook. To see the progression of this piece, click here.
