While researching fish in India in an antique book my brother bought
me a couple of weeks ago, I came across a couple of 'trout'.
While they are closely related to the carp family, rather than
salmonid fishes (trout,char,salmon), due to their resemblance
to trout, their local name has trout in them. The second
fish in this painting will be the wonderfully named
Tibetan Snowtrout. I was fascinated about the fish in India,
due to my travels there, while in International Marketing.
Due to my love of painting Trout Watercolor Studies,
these 'Pseudo-Trout' caught my eye.

If only I were a fisherman. I would appreciate your story more. Luckily, as an artist, I greatly appreciate your talent and your eye for delicate color. So nice, Thom.
Wonderful painting Thom. I hope to see it in person sometime.
This is fantastic, Thom!
