El Guapo in Art, fish art, fly fishing art, mike savlen

The first in Mike Savlen's new Liquid Color series.

In this series I have decided to forego detail and sharp lines keeping the fish almost abstract or dreamy in appearance and concentrating more in large open color masses. I have purposely left out the surface reflections to simplify these paintings as much as possible and also to focus more on the emotional response I feel when I see a vibrant beautiful flash from a fish just under the surface.
