Title: Some more GT Art - Latest painting by Craig Bertram Smith
Post by: Bertus van Rensburg on October 13, 2010, 03:02:30 AM: Hi Guys

Herewith the latest from Craig Bertram Smith.Take a look at the thread posted under the same name by Andre van Wyk.Sometimes the saying ,"a picture can speak a thousand words" simply doesn't apply.

All the best
Bertus

I do have mixed feelings of the lure choice........perhaps a Sea Frog would have been a little nicer than a Roosta Popper.

I say that since it is piece that is so nicely done. It deserves a lure which is held in as high esteem as the fish being painted.

Angus,

Your work is tops!
It's nice to know you're striving for a better end result but what I have seen has impressed me too.

Aaron.

But pretty damn insane work though!!!
