As the seasons change, so do trout. In the fall, brown trout take on deeper, richer tones—gold, amber, olive, and copper glowing against cooler water and fading light. It’s one of the most beautiful transformations in freshwater, and one that anglers and river lovers recognize instantly.
 
I was drawn to this fish because of that seasonal shift. The colors feel warmer, more intense, almost as if the fish is carrying the colors of autumn leaves within it. It’s a reminder that rivers are always changing, and everything in them changes too.
 
This painting was created at a monumental scale—48 inches tall and 96 inches long—so the viewer experiences the fish not as an illustration, but as a presence. At this size, the color, pattern, and form unfold gradually as you move closer, much like watching a trout reveal itself in moving water.
 
From across a large room, the warm tones and sweeping form immediately command attention; up close, the layered color and fine detail reward a slower look. It’s a true statement piece, designed to transform a space and bring the feeling of river, season, and changing light into the home.
