Description
A very involved title for a triangular-ly composed painting. It needs an explanation for sure. Keith and I were spring fishing for steelhead upstream from Meaford along the Bighead River. We typically catch a fish or two. I was on the bridge, which is responsible for the large triangular shadow, and Keith is casting downstream with a slow retrieve of a "skunk" flatfish.
There are at least 4 and possibly 5 steelhead in the painting, headed upstream. They are very hard to entice to strike but when they do, they are like horses on the end of a light lead, racing all around. Keith caught a 12 ponder just down from this location.
In younger days, the kids were always with me so much that they were my shadow. Keith was once again a bit of a teenage shadow on this weekend. I did an earlier painting called "Me and My Shadow" of Keith and this title is a bit of a pun on it and was named for the same reason. It also means simply "Meaford Shadow" since the key element in the painting is the shadow and we are, after all, very near Meaford. If you dissect the name though, it can mean "Me at the Ford". The ford of the river is of course the bridge and the bridge is casting the shadow in the painting. It is a very involved title for sure and I hate to explain it but no one would ever understand otherwise.
