Brook Trout(Salvelinus fontinalis) Watercolor, 9"x12" Completed: December 20, 2009
Comments: This was my first painting of a Brook Trout that I did as a gift for my family last December. I did this with a portable watercolor set consisting of 8 colors and 2 brushes. Sorry about the reflection, I took this picture after it was framed.

Comments: This is my latest work in progress. This photo was taken with my phone so it does not show the entire painting, but it will be a very realistic and accurate profile of one of my favorite freshwater species.
My name is Hugh Murphy and I love fish. Fly fishing and painting are two of my great passions in life. In many ways, this blog is my creative outlet and a unique way for me to unify those passions. I have another blog called T-Rex Trying (http://trextrying.tumblr.com/) which features funny cartoons of a T-Rex trying to make it in contemporary society. Although T-Rex rarely succeeds, he never stops trying - proving that perseverance is a virtue in and of itself. I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Southern California and will be completing my residency in Advanced Prosthodontics at UNC Chapel Hill. I usually do paintings on commission, but I am open to receiving offers for the completed works posted on this site. I also have signed limited edition prints available for purchase. Interested parties should email me at hughmurphy28@gmail.com. Please note that 5% of any sale will be donated to local stream and river conservation initiatives.
