We put our fish back; we don’t eat them or stuff them in a glass case anymore, but I wanted something special to remember this splendid male Atlantic salmon- all dressed up in his Autumn spawning colours, complete with fighting kype.
For the technical, fishers he took a collie dog on a single-handed eight-weight Orvis Helios, and took 30 mins to land, before I slipped him safely back into the Laxa Hrutafordur
For the technical artists I painted his outline with undercoat on apiece of walnut and then applied a mix of acryllics, gouache and watercolour pencils
There be crocodiles in the water
