Olive Elk Hair Caddis
5x7, soft pastel
Day 16 is the beginning of the second half of the month...and I spent a portion of the day reflecting on the first 15 days. I really wanted to take another stab at the Elk Hair Caddis. While the first one was accurate, it had a light background and from an artistic viewpoint...it was bland.
I began with different paper which is new to me but a common pastel paper, Sennelier's Pastel Card in Charcoal. This time, I left the background alone, chose an Olive Elk Hair Caddis and just focused on the fly. I was quite happy with it until I showed my husband who had a puzzled look on his face since he'd never used a green Elk Hair Caddis...oh well...I know there are some out there somewhere!
