Snake River Shadow - 8x8 Mixed Media Print

Snake River Shadow captures a quiet moment beneath the current—where a wild brown trout blends seamlessly into the cobble-lined bottom of Idaho's Snake River. Painted from an angler’s perspective, this piece celebrates the beauty of a trout doing what trout do best: disappearing in plain sight.

This 8x8 inch mixed media print combines watercolor washes with pen detailing to highlight the trout’s natural spotting, subtle movement, and the textured river stones below. Earthy greens, golds, and soft browns reflect the Snake River’s character and the calm tension every fly angler knows just before the eat.

Originally inspired by a brown trout caught on the Snake River, this piece is a tribute to cold mornings, careful wades, and fish that make you question whether you really saw them at all.

Perfect for fly fishing enthusiasts, river lovers, or anyone who appreciates wildlife art with depth and story.
