Reel Relaxin | Digital Painting by AJ Brockman

Fishing is much more than a rod and reel, Hoping for a bountiful catch. Instead, It is the rare occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of life. For those that have not experienced it, I can tell you, there is no better relaxation Then being on a boat. The bright Florida sun, cool offshore breeze, And open water for as far as the eye can see (with no cell phone service I might add) gives you the ultimate opportunity to disconnect and enjoy life.

This particular digital painting was my most ambitious project yet. The complexity demonstrated not only in extreme detail but also in pure size. The final printed piece was 34" x 74" and was the largest metal print I had ever produced at the time. It took me approximately 3 weeks to finish. The colors and vibrancy are possible to replicate through a computer screen, but the original literally feels like you could reach through and touch the water.
