Anyone who enjoys fishing knows there’s a whole world beneath the surface that we rarely get to see. Panfish and Lily Pads takes us underwater, where colorful panfish move among the stems and shadows beneath floating lily pads. It’s a glimpse into the hidden world anglers know is there every time they cast a line.

I especially enjoyed using the light filtering through the water, reflections and brilliant colors of the fish to create a scene that feels alive beneath the surface. The painting was selected for the 2021 North Carolina Wildlife Calendar, giving this underwater scene an additional distinction that makes the print especially meaningful to collectors of wildlife art.

The original painting has sold, but limited-edition prints are available. For someone who loves fishing, spending time on the water, or simply remembering favorite days at the lake, this print makes a distinctive gift—and one they can enjoy long after fishing season ends.

Prints are approximately 7.5" × 9.5", presented in an 11" × 14" white mat with a certificate of authenticity and protective sleeve, ready to fit a standard 11" × 14" frame.
