Mitch Fishing
A Bad Day of Fishing is Better Than A Good Day of Work
This is a watercolor painting of my husband Mitch. I feel I captured him pretty well for being the first time I ever tried to paint him. You can see the photo I worked from here without loosing your spot on this page since the link opens to another page. Just close the page when you are done and you will resume to this page. The painting itself is a miniature of 4″ x 6″ in size, and I had much fun painting him.

/ August 29, 2012AWWWW HI MITCH!!! hahahahaha! and I see Deb, that Mr. Mitch here has a sense of humor 🙂 He’s all like “Damn I’m handsome for an old fart”… hahaha!
Atta boy! 🙂
Very nice Deb 🙂 Looks just like him. Are those raybans? 🙂 HOwever you spell that.
Deb
/ August 29, 2012No, those are his prescription glasses…transitions. Glad you like it, he seemed to as well. Thanks Sue! 🙂 xo
Binky
/ August 29, 2012I didn’t know you were married to Burt Reynolds!
That’s a pretty heavy duty rod and reel he has. I guess he gets some good sized fish surf casting.
Deb
/ August 29, 2012Hahaha. That funny, Binky! When he was younger he had a smile like Henry Winkler.
He always hopes too. One time he caught an 80 lbs ray. Right now he waiting to catch a good size cobia, but he loves catching those puppy drum too.
Thanks Binky! xo
Binky
/ August 30, 201280 lbs! That’s bigger than me!
Deb
/ September 24, 2012Much bigger! 😉
Androgoth
/ August 30, 2012I thought it was Magnum
but yes Deb has a wicked
Fisherman of a hubby 🙂
Andro
Deb
/ August 30, 2012Haha, Magnum. All you people are going to give a head so big he won’t get through the door. 😆
Thanks Andro…Mitch a really great guy…I’m blessed.
Hugs ♥ XXx
Binky
/ August 30, 2012Magnum (Tom Selleck) was sort of a junior Burt Reynolds imposter!
Deb
/ September 24, 2012I think they’re both trying impersonating Mitch. 😉
Novroz
/ August 30, 2012Hahaha I was just about to write that too…he looks like Burt Reynolds 😉
The painting looks great but he looks a bit glum there, like he lost his fish 😉
Say hi to him from the three of us 🙂
Deb
/ September 24, 2012Thanks Novroz! 🙂
lscotthoughts
/ August 29, 2012You two are so cute, Deb, and you did an amazing job! And my hubby would agree with your fishing quote, too, even though he doesn’t fish as often as he’d like! Hugs to you! xoxo
Deb
/ August 30, 2012Aw, thanks Lauren. for both about us and the painting.
Oh, yes, he definitely feels that way about fishing…big time! You’re hubby needs to treat himself to a day of it…even a few hours is good.
Thanks Lauren…Hugs to you too! xoxo

marina kanavaki
/ August 30, 2012Nicely done, Deb. [ah, yes Binky: a bit of Burt and a bit of Kevin Kline!]
Deb

/ August 30, 2012zawsze podziwiam wędkarzy za wytrwałość…..
😉
Deb
/ August 30, 2012That is for sure, Krystiana! 🙂
Have a great day!
Scott Mitchell
/ August 30, 2012Haha, that’s my kinda guy there, fishing etc. I can imagine him saying the quote “A Bad Day of Fishing is Better Than A Good Day of Work”
I live in the great lakes state and haven’t been fishing in a few years.
Oh by the way, I installed the MyPaint program you recommended and plan to start playing with it. Awesome recommendation! Thanks!
Deb
/ August 30, 2012I kind of had you sized up as someone who would want to fish…love’en the beach and all.
That’s truly how he feels about fishing too, Scott. 🙂
Oh, you must go, before it gets too cold out. What’s keeping you from it?
You installed it! Good! You just fool around with it and you will begin to get the hang of it. If you want to know how I get certain effects on a painting I’ve done just let me know. But I do know this for sure…You’ll be good at it and I can’t wait to see what you produce in time. Mostly, just have fun with it! Your little one ought to love it too! ;-)…Oh, your welcome, my friend! Have a great day!:-) xo

/ August 30, 2012Poor dumb Mitch. Seems like he is casting in the sand instead of the water.
Deb
/ August 30, 2012Poor dumb Carl…He’s facing the ocean.
cat
/ August 30, 2012Nice … only he is not smiling … give my love to Binky 🙂
Deb
/ August 30, 2012When I paint a portrait it is not to get the exactness of the photo, but the to capture the likeness of the person….thanks Cat..Love and hugs.
spilledinkguy
/ August 30, 2012A wonderful likeness, Deb!
And at 4×6? In watercolor?
Even more-so!!!
🙂
Deb
/ August 30, 2012Yes, it’s a small one. I had a time trying to do his face in such a small area to work with.. Thanks Sig, you always say such kind things about my work. 🙂
Have a great day! 🙂
Androgoth
/ August 30, 2012This is brilliant Deb
you have captured him
really well in this one
and I hope the fishing
was also fruitful 🙂
Have a fun rest of day Deb 🙂
Androgoth XXx
Deb
/ August 30, 2012I don’t think is was that day or I would have had a photo in the same batch with him and the fish. But he has fun even if he doesn’t catch anything, but catching if way better. 😉
Thanks Andro!
You have a fun rest of the day too! 🙂
Hugs ♥ XXx

/ August 30, 2012Ahah love the quote and the watercolor. Very good job. I gotta agree with Andro. Mitch looks like Magnum 🙂
I’m back, Deb. So glad. I’ve missed wordpress so much but needed to concentrate on my internship report.
Big hugs.
Deb
/ September 1, 2012This is so funny how so many of you are telling me what Hollywood figure he looks like. 🙂
Glad your back, you need some rest from all the hard work.
Big hugs back to ya, Cha! xo

Bearman Cartoons
/ August 30, 2012About time you painted him. My wife gets on my constantly that I never cartoon her.
Binky
/ August 30, 2012So what’re you waiting for?
Deb
/ September 24, 2012Ditto! 😉
Deb
/ September 1, 2012Yes, I guess it was about time I did, though I’ve drawn him in the past. You can click on his names in tag line to see if you like.
I’d love to see the cartoon you made of her. 🙂
Tony McGurk
/ August 30, 2012Nice to see Mitch make his debut on your blog. Did he catch any fish that day. I can’t wait to be able to wear shorts once summer comes & warms us up
Deb
/ September 1, 2012Not that day. ;-( But he still had fun! 🙂
hannekekoop
/ August 30, 2012Lovely painting Deb. Very relaxed and natural. Did he caught any fish? 🙂
Deb
/ September 1, 2012Not that day, though he may have caught a few fish to use for bait.
Thanks Hanne! 🙂

Androgoth
/ August 31, 2012I bet you are ready for the wrestling
lots of chocolates and something nice
to whet your appetite as they fight it
out in the ring 🙂 I wonder who will be
the victor this evening Deb? 😉 🙂
ENJOY…
Androgoth XXx
Deb
/ August 31, 2012Yes, I’m ready. We just got supper out of the way, and I got a big tub of chocolate Ice cream with my name on it, and Mitch can have some too if he’s good…lol kidding. 🙂
I never really know for sure who will be the victor, but can guess pretty good at times, but surprises happen.
I can let you know who won each match if you want.
I got to get the dog’s bathed now. We were at the beach and there full of sand and their hair is all gunky.
I certainly will enjoy! You have a a good evening, my great and wicked friend!
Hugs ♥ XXx
Androgoth
/ August 31, 2012Wow bathing the dogs and wrestling too 🙂
Well enjoy your ice cream and do give Mitch
a spoon too, he will be getting all naughty if
you don’t share it 🙂 Kidding Deb…
Have some wresletastic fun my great friend 🙂
Andro XXx
Deb
/ September 1, 2012Yes, bathing too…they were icky from the beach.
Each had a big bowl…we were full. 🙂
Wrestling night was fun. Tomorrow night is races for him, so more painting for me. Then wrestling again on Monday.
Hugs ♥ XXx
Androgoth
/ September 1, 2012I was just leaving for the morning when I noticed your replies, I too will be watching my racing later, though a different kind of racing but nonetheless a fascinating two hours 🙂 Have fun painting Deb and be good 🙂
