A 16" Brown Trout Sculpture - created tip to tail by Vermont artist Rachel Laundon. This piece is an original, it is carved from wood and painted with fine art acrylics in a the vivid autumnal colors and pattern characteristic of this gorgeous trout! The fins are copper that I hammered and oxidized for a nice patina that looks amazing against the painted wood. I reverse paint clear glass cabochons for the eyes and added a little bling behind it with re-purposed metal.
