The scales have been hand drawn with a charcoal pencil be fore painting; then painted individually in muted blues, golds silvers & white watercolors with metal pearl acrylics added to the scales for an iridescent look when the light strikes them. The fish has been sealed in 6 coats of a high grade marine gloss varnish, which will protect the colors against fading or damage over time (high UV protectant) even if placed outside. Snook #5 measures 30 inches in length, 11 inches wide and has a glass realistic fish eye. This fish come signed, dated, numbered along with its name by wood burning on the backside. There is also a wire hanger on the back for easy hanging one any wall.

Lisa, your fish are amazing! I used to live in Miami and went fishing quite a lot in the 50s and 60s and your fish are Very Life-Like! At first, I couldn't imagine a woman sculpting fish of all things, but as I looked at your pixs up close and being a fisherperson (in another life) I can appreciate your connection to sea life.
