The Chinook salmon is often called the King salmon—and for good reason. They're the grandest species of salmon, with the world record holder weighing in at a whopping 97 pounds. That's why I wanted to celebrate this spectacular creature and capture its beauty with the simple strokes of a paintbrush. I love the rich, vibrant hues of a King Salmon, and its shimmery scales and graceful body shape.
The one depicted in this fly fishing painting is a male in the spawning phase of its life cycle. When I created it, I spent time reflecting on the mystery of nature—and how this extraordinary fish literally changes its body shape and coloration over the course of its journey from the ocean to the river. I find that to be somehow profound, and I take it as a reminder to keep growing and changing.
I envision this modern salmon art print in in ruddy browns, maroons, rusty pinks, and earth tones being just the thing to enliven the decor of a mountain house, lake house, or cabin.
I do have several other fly fishing prints on my site that can live together as a grouped set. I have several other fish, flies, and prints of antique reels—all of which pay homage to this classic sport—and make great fly fishing gifts.
