This piece is part of my Trout, Salmon and Steelhead Collection and it reflects hope.
This piece grew from my time teaching and running Trout in the Classroom with a partner teacher across the hall. We raised fertilized rainbow trout eggs from the Pennsylvania Game Commission and watched them become fingerlings that the students later helped release into local cold water. The kids loved every part of it. Some fish even jumped from the big stock tank and we kept a net over it which always became a fun moment to share with the class. Those memories made me want to create a painting that held that sense of growth and care. I poured the background colors to echo the soft shifts on a rainbow trout and let those tones support the fish, the eggs, and the fingerling all done in watercolor and ink. The whole piece reminds me that small beginnings can shape the future.
This artwork is for anyone who wants their home or office to carry a quiet reminder of growth and care. Painted with the understanding that comes from time outdoors, it brings gentle color and a steady sense of hope into your space. It offers a simple connection to the waters we protect and the lives that depend on them.
