A Stream Exam

Our family spends a week in Canaan Valley, WV each summer. In addition to hiking, biking, etc., we do a lot of fishing in some of the small lakes. When we stay at our friend Tom Barton's cabin, visit please, we like to gather bait from the small mountain streams in the area. Minnows, crayfish (or crawdads), worms are everywhere to be had. These are my girls and some old man (me), collecting bait.

PS: This painting will be in my September 17th show at the Art Emporium in Charleston, WV.
