'First Bass Together' - Framed Original

Story behind the painting:

I was able to take my lil tadpole fishing for the first time alone the other day. Just the two of us. With a fishing pole, a few ornery gators, a bunch of turtles, some beautiful birds and a bunch of hungry bass. We worked the edges of the slime filled pond just like that ol tri colored heron did that was looking for its breakfast. All morning long we caught a bunch of bass together. But when I brought up one decent sized bass, so she could see it in her stroller, she said “ooooooh”. She really liked it and it gave me an idea for a painting. I took a picture of the bass before I released it, sketched it out and then did my best to paint it.
