Plein air Oil Sketch: Fisherman Henry (11 x 11)

I went to Harns Marsh this morning and met Fisherman Henry. He was using artificial baits to fish bass or trout. I was never successful in using artificial baits, so I asked Henry a lot of questions about fresh-water fishing. Then I realized that I was asking too many questions. I would find it rude if someone asked me so many questions about painting when I was painting outside. However, Henry was very patient and explained to me in detail. Therefore, I offered to paint him while he was fishing. He liked the idea. The painting took a little more than an hour. He was standing on the rocks by the wire fence.
