Redfish paintings, drawings, gifts for redfish fishermen
Redfish (red drum) art and drawings are my favorites to create. I have many redfish paintings available in many print sizes.
From the Gulf Coast states to almost all the way up the Atlantic Coast, the redfish, a.k.a. red drum, is one of the most sought after gamefish. I do a lot of redfish fishing and I’ve probably landed over a thousand of these fish and it never gets old.
From Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi to Florida, the redfish in the South is king of sport fish. In the Atlantic, where the giants grow, the red drum is hunted by most saltwater anglers and is highly prized. The North Carolina General Assembly of 1971 designated the red drum as the official state saltwater fish!
The salt marshes of Louisiana, Texas, Alabama and Mississippi hold schools of slot redfish that will readily scoop up a fly, plastic bait, gold spoon or live bait under a popping cork. Florida redfish are often found from the beaches to the back bays and even miles up inside the rivers. In winter, Florida redfish are found in seagrass, over muddy or sand bottoms, or near oyster bars or spring-fed creeks. I’ve caught them 3 miles up rivers.
I love digitally painting these beautiful creatures because of their copper-bronze, golden hues and tail dots that seem to be as unique to every fish as a fingerprint is on a human. Red drum change colors, depending on their diets and environment. In the salt marshes, it’s not uncommon to see these beauties almost as bronze as goldfish. The beach redfish tend to be more copper and silver. My best selling redfish art is “Leggenda del Lido“, inspired by a huge red I hooked on Lido Beach, in Florida.
My redfish art attempts to cover all redfish environments and red drum fishing situations. I like to paint scenes you wish you could witness when you’re fishing in the mangrove bay or bayou. I can’t think of a more exhilarating sight than this scene depicting a group of red drum about to explode on a school of hapless baitfish! I picture my topwater bait right there! I plan to digitally paint a hundred-plus redfish art pieces in my lifetime. Stay tuned to my redfish drawing and redfish painting pages to see new red drum art prints monthly.
Redfish art prints are a popular choice among fish art enthusiasts and collectors due to their vibrant colors and detailed depictions of these beautiful fish. In addition to adding a splash of color and interest to any room, redfish art prints also offer a number of other benefits. These prints can be displayed in a variety of settings, from formal living rooms to casual beach houses and rentals. Their bright gold hues make them a perfect choice for adding a pop of color to any space.
Another benefit of redfish art prints is their durability. These prints are made with high-quality inks and paper, ensuring that they will last for decades to come. This makes them a great investment for collectors who want to add value to their fishing art collection.
Overall, redfish art prints are a great choice for anyone looking to add some color and interest to their home or office. Whether you’re an art collector or simply looking for a unique piece to add to your space, redfish art prints are a beautiful and practical choice.
