Gettin' Chummy

Gettin' Chummy captures a pair of chum salmon at a pivotal moment—adding their eggs and milt to a salmon redd. This one-of-a-kind painting celebrates the summer abundance of Pacific Northwest rivers, where salmon reach the height of their fertility cycle. The artist's close-up perspective reveals intricate details: the rocky redd , glistening eggs, and the salmon's distinctive end-of-life coloring. Painted on a natural shelf mushroom that perfectly complements the composition, this piece merges fine art with organic materials for a truly unique presentation.
