'Watercolor Study of a Masu (Cherry) Salmon'



Transparent Watercolor on Crescent Mat Board

1st of 2 Images for a painting.

This Image is 20" x 8".

Non-Professional Photograph

Adult Masu Salmon in Spawning Colors after 3 to 5 years

of living in the Ocean around Japan.

There are 3  other Sub-Species of the Masu- found in Korea and Taiwan.

This Sub-Species is found only in Japan and

has a separate Parr or Juvenile Phase that last a few years

in the freshwater streams and rivers of Japan.

Each Sub-Species has different Parr Phase Characteristics.

This version is called Amago that goes with

this adult version. That will be the other half

of the final painting.

I will be working on the Amago Juvenile Painting

at a live demo during Foundry Day, Saturday, June 2

on the Porch of Caffe 101.
