'Watercolor Study of a Lahotan Cutthroat Trout with Stream Form Markings'

Lahotan Cutthroat Trout (Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi)
Transparent Watercolor on Crescent Mat Board
Matted on Identical Museum Quality Mat Board.
Image Size: 9" x 4.5". Matted Size: 14" x 11".

A Continuation of my series of Watercolor Studies of
North American Trout Species. I find the color variations 
on the Cutthroat species especially interesting.

This species markings are vary different for the ones living in a lake environment,
compared  to the wild stream version. The lake version is 
Mashed Potatoes to the Stream Version of Broccoli, Carrots and  Beets.
So stream version it is!

I never realized the difference between lake and stream trout were so different. Very nice painting Thom. Thanks for the education!

Gorgeous colors, Thom. I ordered calendars of your fish from your zazzle site for my husband and son in law for Christmas, and they were a HUGE hit!
