Art of Fly Fishing (Calendar)

Description: Arthur Shilstone's paintings in The Art of Fly Fishing capture the pleasures of time spent watching the arc of the cast, feeling the silent pull of the current, and waiting for the snap of the line. One of America's foremost watercolorists, Mr. Shilstone began painting for Life magazine after World War II and assignments for publications including Smithsonian, National Geographic, Gourmet, and Sports Illustrated followed. Just over a decade ago, Mr. Shilstone began painting fly fishing scenes for his own enjoyment. With the help of these vibrant images, you too can enjoy fly fishing throughout the entire year. "Gone fishing " If you haven't already, this calendar will inspire you to do just that. The paintings featured each month are realistic in style and very appealing to both western and eastern "fly-tiers." Notes: The Art of Fly Fishing will be printed on special uncoated paper as a "Special Archive Edition" in 2004, making the calendar more appropriate for high-end galleries and museum shops. Arthur Shilstone is represented by art galleries in New York, Wyoming, Connecticut, Colorado, and California. His work can also be found in many private and corporate collections as well as a growing number of museums throughout the United States and Canada. Among these are NASA Air and Space Museum, Cape Canaveral, Florida; Victory Center Museum at Yorktown, Virginia; National Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown, New York; Museum of American Illustration, New York City; The Collection of the Archives of the City of Quebec, Canada.
