John's Cape Cod Lure Painting

I painted this lure like I ever practise, from direct observation. I've definitely gotten into the swing of things, setting up objects to pigment in my staging area and decision-making the lighting.

While it'southward truthful that the hooks on the fishing lures can be difficult to paint I have gotten somewhat used to this task. Every bit I've written about in the past, it all starts off with a super-accurate drafting (cartoon) of the subject matter. Too, the cast shadows created by the hooks are an awesome function of the artwork!

I stumbled upon this fishing lure via an former associate of mine, John. John is a retired math instructor and actually great photographer. A professional for sure, John really did the photography at my hymeneals! To be fair it was he and his wife that shot the event.

That's my beautiful wife, Elizabeth on our wedding twenty-four hours!

This lure was the least colorful in my possession, only it had such a unique form and had some interesting embellishments. The entire caput had a flat angle to it which ended with a unproblematic v-shaped rima oris which was painted red. Aslope the caput was a distinctive eye that was golden in color offset by a surrounding patch of blue.

Does this stuff actually fool a fish or are these anatomical details more to entice a human into purchasing the lure?

The lure was really crush up which I liked of grade and rather lengthy. I added a brusk wire liter setup consummate with clasping hardware and swivel. I've been using this same hardware in my lures lately. I've really liked how it adds to the overall composition.

John used to tell me nearly his family adventures up in Cape cod and that's how I came up with the title for this painting.
