Colorful Flies

Here are two more flies that I finished up last night. I wanted some that were more colorful. 

These will also be available at Park City Art Gallery in Republic MI.

Fly Fishing

In the past I painted a few trout flies and they were well received. I've recently had some inquiries for more. These are two that I completed this evening. My favorite one is the top image.

 These images are 2.5"x3.5" and are matted to fit in a 5"x7" frame. They will be for sale at Park City Gallery in Republic, MI. To purchase them from the gallery call (906) 376-2360 or you can email me at sarahtuleart@yahoo.com or call me at (248) 977-0732.

Again, I've been painting too many winter scenes. How about something a little warmer?

Set Your Hook

These trout flies are two more examples of the work I'll be sending with Huron Pines in March to the Midwest Fly Fishing Expo in Warren, MI. You can find out more about the Expo itself by clicking on the orange type above. 

Huron Pines and I have worked together now for almost a year. I split my profits with them 50/50 when someone mentions their organization during a sale. The proceeds go to help maintain streams and rivers here in Northern Michigan. Some of the more recent things Huron Pines has done are removing culverts and replacing them with bridges to let the river flow naturally. That way, fish can get upstream to breeding grounds and it also rebalances the placement of sediment in the riverbed. 

There's way more to learn about what Huron Pines does and there's lots of ways to get involved! Just click here! 

To buy the fly paintings I've been showing email me at sarahtuleart@yahoo.com or call me at (248) 977-0732. The originals will be up for auction soon on Daily Paintworks so check back for the link. 

You can also purchase prints and cards of the images (or any image for that matter). Simply let me know by emailing me or calling me. Prices can be found by clicking on the "Prints" tab at the top of the page. 

Also, I'd like to thank everyone again for bidding in the Manna Food Project Auction! It was again a success and I'll be going to drop off a check for them next week. Stay tuned next month to see which painting I'm offering! 

Let 'er fly!

I've been working with Huron Pines quite a bit this past year and I've gotten into some really interesting areas. The next event I'm doing with them is the Midwest Fly Fishing Expo. This year it's in Warren, Michigan at the Macomb Community College Sports and Expo Center on March 9th and 10th. 

I'll be sending several different prints along with Huron Pines as they travel down to the expo and in the end I'll split the profit with them 50/50. So be sure to stop by and buy a few for the fisherman in your life!

I really enjoy working with Huron Pines and preserving Northern Michigan for future generations. The land and all its trees, fields, rivers, streams, lakes and ponds are important to me. They show up often in my work and I am inspired daily by them. The chance to get outside, soak up some sun and hike a dune is perfection in summer. The same is true in winter of snowshoeing through snow laden pine trees. The sun breaks through their branches and your breath hangs in the air before you. I can't imagine not having that. So, in short, I feel the need to help preserve it for others.

To Catch A Fly

This past August my now husband and I visited Elk Rapids, Mi. As we crossed a bridge I spotted this man fly fishing near the river. When I painted the scene I decided to change the background a bit. I think it's more peaceful and tranquil than a downtown scene. Perhaps I'll paint him again in the future from a different angle and see if I change my mind about having the city in the background. This painting is available for purchase in my Purchase Gallery tab at the top of the screen. You can also purchase it by contacting me at sarahtuleart@yahoo.com!
