Misty morning fishing day

[mhansenm1]

Again I like to remember my fishing days and how I do that is painting my memories. I received very good news this week as the national multiple sclerosis society has made available a lift chair and a shower chair that I have desperately needed. Thank you so much Becky you are a true champion and in my eyes is a Superwoman. And with that said enjoy this new oil painting and God bless those who help us and may the heavens watch over you constantly.

Don't ever say you miss your fishing days! Yeah, I don't do much fishing any more. Especially this year, I should be catching Coho Salmon on the Lake Michigan lakefront, now, then heading to the Wisconsin Wolf River later this month for the white bass run, then.... Okay, last year I pretty much got dragged out here and there, but I wet a line a couple times. Fishing has been the most important than anything else forever. This year, well forget the fact that we are all under lockdown with the C-Virus, so no Lake Michigan lakefront, it's closed, no traveling to Wisconsin, It's essentially a closed boarder, I could still walk or bike to the forest preserve lakes by me, but they're a bit to far, and my biking days, they're about gone too.

As far as painting, I painted several houses over the years. My artful painting...I'm better at houses? But, it that takes ladders, standing on planks...., those days are gone too?

BUT Fishing....That's Not Over Yet. Maybe on hold for a bit. Maybe not as much as I used to, or as fancy as I used to. BUT, don't ever give up hope. Those waters will forever be calling you. I see guys in chairs on the various lakefronts a lot! Don't ever give up your fishing pole!

I still go when my friends take me but that's it. But I did draw an elk tag with Wyoming disabled hunters looking forward to that this fall. I'll try and post pics when I do. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement.

Love the painting! Keep on painting! It takes you far, far away and keeps you involved and your mind active. Your ability to paint is a gift from God that was intended to be used and shared. I'm used to getting to the beach and doing surf fishing. I'm hoping to get to do that again before long. I have done a painting of the coast that I'll try and share shortly. It takes me away and back to the beach every time I look at it. What will you paint next?

I'm still trying to figure my next oil painting out. It will something peaceful and someplace I've gone in the past I should know soon. Thanks for your kindness and support.

I just heard they are letting you fish in N.J. . Trout season even starts early.

[mhansenm1 in reply to jackiesj]

No it's the Shoshoni. But good guess.
