Thanks go out to our avid reader, Alec, for bringing us the newest edition to the Eastcoast Angler’s Artist Spotlight series. Good looking out and nice find.The waters of Massachusetts can be home to some pretty serious fish. As we found out, the land of Massachusetts is home to some pretty serious fish artists. In particular, James Roszel. He came up with the idea to portray his own beloved trophy catch in art form. Who wants a dead fish on your wall when you can have a brilliant and life size work of art showing your fish, rod, reel and plug? Now that’s the whole kitten caboodle. Here’s what he has to say about his work, “In each painting I try to capture the brilliant colors and live presence of a freshly landed trophy fish. I feel these life-size paintings really capture the excitement of the encounter with these beautiful creatures and celebrate them in a more monumental way than taxidermy or photography can.”
Mr. Roszel works on commission and likes to speak with his clients about the details of their
catch. Here are the basics: you contact him and let him know what you want. Pretty simple, really. Jim also works with oils and watercolors. When we browsed around his site, we knew this artwork would be a great addition to any fishing fanatic’s home gallery. James Roszel’s art work is attainable at any price point. As of now, he offers commissioned artwork, fish portraits, watercolors, prints and note cards. He is, in our opinion, an artist with an uncanny ability to paint some realistic fish.Here’s how you can score some fine fish art for your self: He sells his watercolors on etsy.com. Check out his blog here. Check out his website here. Contact him at jim@fishingartworks.com or call, 781-422-2244. Glad we could bring you the work of James Roszel in the third edition of our Artist Spotlight series. Here at the Eastcoast Angler we are always on the lookout for some talented fishing artisans, and the work of Jim
Roszel is an energetic example of art we’d love to have framed on our beach house walls. (Note to my wife – see Mr. Roszel’s contact. Hint – hint.)If you happen across any fine fishy artists, drop us a line for the Eastcoast Angler to review their work. Contact us here.
