Cutthroat Trout in Acrylic on Canvas

(Repurposed textured canvas, approx. 3'x3'x2" w/ finished varnish, d-rings, wire back for hanging) 

As part of the Abstract Trout Paintings Collection, "Cutthroat Trout" invites viewers to immerse themselves in an unconventional exploration of this iconic species. The canvas, enriched with layers of texture, becomes a dynamic tapestry that captures the spirit of the Cutthroat trout in a contemporary, abstract context. The textured surface, created intentionally by the artist, adds a tactile dimension that invites the observer to engage not just visually, but also through touch.

The large acrylic strokes sweep across the canvas, creating a symphony of color that mirrors the natural beauty of the Cutthroat trout. Hues of rich ochre, deep cerulean, and subtle earthy tones converge to form an abstract representation that goes beyond the boundaries of traditional realism. The textured background enhances the depth and complexity of the painting, creating an immersive experience that echoes the rugged landscapes and flowing waters where the Cutthroat trout thrives.
