FISH is a stunning celebration of this continent's great fish, mostly game fish, with a sprinkling of fun (pumpkin seed sunfish), history (American shad), and culinary delights (red snapper). These detailed, never-before-published watercolor portraits, with text by the master of sport fishing, Dean Travis Clarke, combine to make an upscale guide for the naturalist, an aid to the angler, a tool for the educator and conservationist, and an enjoyable read for everyone. It's part field guide and part angler's soul, but most of all a feast for the eyes.

When Europeans first arrived in the New World, lobsters were so plentiful that a minor storm could deposit two feet tall piles of the crustacean along the shoreline. They were so abundant and easy to harvest that they were known as “the poor man’s chicken.” Flick Ford brings us, in all its Technicolor glory, the world record lobster that was caught in 1977 off Nova Scotia, Canada, weighing in at 44 pounds, 6 ounces, measuring nearly four feet long. If it takes five to seven years for a lobster to reach the weight of one pound, we can only wonder how old this world record lobster was. We don’t often get the chance to see just how beautiful these creatures are when emerging fresh from the trap. Perfect for the beach house or kitchen, you can order your lobster in one of three sizes: 1 1/2 lbs (paper), 4 lbs (canvas) or one of the (15) world record 44 lb behemoths (canvas).
Flick Ford’s watercolors are rendered in a unique technique that captures the perfection of the fish at the moment it was pulled from the water. A prime example of his mastery of this method is his latest fine art limited edition, Sailfish, which is featured in his book, "Fish: 77 Great Fish of North America."

Flick Ford hooks almost every fish he paints.The resulting fish portraits are, on one hand classical reminiscent of 19th century color plates, on the other hand they are very contemporary, featuring minute detail, shimmering iridescence, eye-popping depth and a genuine spirit of life never before captured in fine art prints.The Steelhead (oncorhynchus mykiss), is the anadromous (migrating) form of rainbow trout, native to the western North American coast and the Pacific Coast of Asia.

Trophy Sized Art of Trophy Fish There are two groups of life on this planet that understand just how beautiful that elusive scaled, slimy and eventually smelly creature is: other fish and fisherman. Well, do we have an art find for you. Introducing Flick Ford, fisherman, painter, founder of a 1980s garage band, river rat, environmentalist … painter. “I’m not sure I was born to be a fisherman but I was born to a fishing family,” explains the artist, who fishes more than 100 days a year in search of the perfect specimens. “I’ve probably used most every kind of fishing method available to me. I’ve experienced days of second degree sunburn, rain induced hypothermia, nearly lost myself in a tornado storm in the middle of a lake and drifted helplessly in the current of a river. But I can truthfully say I have never had a bad day of fishing.” Familiar with their habitats, anatomy and color patterns, Flick hooks almost every fish he paints, although most are released shortly after. After landing a fish, he carefully measures it, and then traces its outline. Using taxonomic methods reminiscent of 19th century artist Stephen F. Denton, Ford photographs every inch of the fish so he can count the scales and include exactly the right number in his painting. For accuracy in color he relies on both his photographs and his artistic color memory. When possible, the fish are painted life size. The resulting paintings show the unadorned beauty of the living fish, with an unparalleled accuracy that has them nearly jumping off the wall. Tarpon (megalops atlanticus) is a strong resister, especially if caught in deep water. Most catches of this primarily inshore fish are 40 to 50 pounds although the world record was a 243-pounder.
