"Catch of the Day" By Debra Tritt Kreiger

"Catch of the Day" Watercolor 15"x22" on 250lb paper

This is a little something different and a little humorous. I saw this woman fishing and just knew it was going to be a painting. I was born in Minnesota so I have this secret love of fishing. I just loved all the pink and the manicured painted nails. Not what you usually see when watching people fish! I worked to make the colors and composition come together in harmony. Hope you enjoy!

Great piece Deb. This is the size of fish our family usually catches, but we love to fish also.

You really captured the moment. She looks very proud of her catch.

Deb, your sense of humor matches my own a wee bit. I also like to go fishing, as long as someone is there to both bait the hook and take the fish off the hook when I catch it. My husband usually eventually decides it is my fault he didn't catch any fish as he was so busy taking care of these things for me. LOL This is a fabulous piece and I love it!

I like this so much - especially that the lady is in her pink 'finest'. It really adds a quirky, humorous touch to an already great painting!

Thanks for your positive comments. The pink just makes the painting!
