Few fish are as widely known or as deeply connected to the American outdoors as the largemouth bass. Found in lakes, ponds, rivers, and backwaters across the country, they are the fish that introduced generations of anglers to fishing—the strike at the edge of a weed line, the swirl near a fallen log, the sudden explosion on a topwater lure at dawn.
 
I’m drawn to largemouth bass because they represent more than a species; they represent a tradition. From quiet farm ponds to major national tournaments, this fish has shaped countless mornings on the water and created stories that get told for years. It’s a fish that lives in memory as much as in water.
 
This painting was created at a monumental scale—48 inches tall and 96 inches long—so the viewer experiences the bass with the same presence it carries in the wild. At eight feet long, the form becomes bold and architectural, transforming a wall rather than simply hanging on it. From across a large room, the sweeping shape and rich greens immediately command attention; up close, the layered color, texture, and subtle patterning reveal themselves slowly.
 
This is a true statement piece, designed for someone who loves the outdoors, the water, and the timeless appeal of one of America’s most iconic sport fish.
