The Canvas Fish

This past season a new friend of mine and an artist, Derek DeYoung, traveled to Labrador to study Minipi Brook Trout. Derek’s goal was to study true native Labrador Brook Trout in other words, Minipi Brook Trout in their many color variations. The result is a breathtaking composite portrait of the Minipi Brook Trout. And those traveling to the new Anne Marie Lake Lodge this upcoming summer will see this spectacular portrait. Four separate canvases each one portraying a unique part (head, tail, midsection) of a unique the brook trout. When all four canvases are viewed together the true essence of a Brookie is revealed, as if you are remembering it in a dream. Derek calls this impressive portrait a 4 in 1 fish.

Derek also does some pretty great custom commissions. And they are excellent alternatives to a skin mount or carving of your prized Minipi trophy. Check out his work on http://www.canvasfish.com . And consider asking him to create a canvas portrait for you with your prized trophy Minipi Brookie. He also has some great selections of Giclee Prints for sale on his website, even one of his Minipi 4 in 1.

1. Awesome portrait.  How big is it?

2. When all the panels are together it measures 6’ by 3’. If there was a real brook trout that size it would weigh in over 200 pounds.

3. Sweet piece of art. I can’t wait to see it in person up at AML hopefully in the next couple of years. It’s my new screen saver.
