Don't Get Hooked

I'm calling this painting Dad's Tackle Box.  It is one more painting of something I am trying to elevate to art.  Looking at it, you just see a bunch of fishing lures, but  when displayed in a box like this, they do achieve some semblance of art.  Each of the lures has a white tag tied to it.  Obviously dad isn't gonna go fishing with these any more.  Too bad, I think I've caught fish on lures just like them.

Well, this one was much more technical than I am used to.  I Lots of tiny little places to paint, and trying to get all those strings in there was a bit much.  I hope I was able to stretch my abilities a little bit here.  I am going to have to try to do some more detailed paintings like this in the future.

Hope you enjoy this.  It certainly was fun to paint.
