Playing with some Muskie Lures for awhile..

Living in northern Wisconsin, we have various lores, various characteristics to our local culture, one that is popular is muskie fishing...intimidating voracious predators of our fresh waters...and in experimenting with painterliness...the essential, thought it would be fun as a subject to play with..

This one is called the "Creeper" and makes all sorts of fush, gurgles and sounds as a top water lure.

Just getting this one going tonight following my day of teaching...a bit more to play, color to push, values and accent pops...
