Description
You know it's a broke trout when you don't have the money to paint on canvas.. just a slab of wood - although it is very special black walnut and not just any ordinary wood. The beautiful fish is actually a Brook or Speckled Trout. That's a Black Fury Number One lure supposedly caught on the upper lip of the slab of walnut. The line is broken and thus there is another reason for the title.
The large black walnut tree was on the front yard of my friend Jack Brydon on Church Street in Schomberg. Jack and I were great friends and did a lot of wood working together. I carved several paddles in his shop while listening to Jack tell stories. Anyway Jack cut the black walnut stem into slabs. We sanded those slabs which I then sealed. I painted the shape of the fish with a couple of goats of titanium gesso in order to make the fish jump off the dark grain of the wood.
