Art of the Angle

This old church tower ws part of a church built in the tiny community of fort Dorchester in the mid 1670s. The grave yard stone that exist signify the loves ones lost to the Revolutionary War. Amazing place of peace, my soul is happy here. #historicsouthcarolina #aplaceofpeace #fortdorchestersclowcountry

Had some fun putting this together for a friend at work. Quick and quirky not following any strict regimine. #shallowshadowbox #quickart #art #minitrout #artoftheangle #artoftheangleflytying #artandangles

Step two: After the Qiill Gordon dry and wet flies are done, I am finishing the fly arrangement with the Light Cahill Dry. One of my favorite flies to tie and fish throughout the year. Now to arrange the layout and sketch the names of the fish...stay tuned!

Sunday morning appreciation project step one: A good friend of mine at work shot a few woodie drakes and shared the feathers with me. As fly tiers, we all know how expensive commercial woodduck flank cost so his gift to me was fit for a king! I wanted to share what his gift is used for so a shadow box of trout and flies will fit the bill! #woodduckflankistoodamnexpensive #appreciationgiftsarefuntomake #woodducks #huntersrock #iappreciateyou #artoftheangle #artoftheangleflytying #art #artoftheanglecreations

Mini trout project I am working on...thinking a frame and rod theme #minitrout #art #artandangles #artoftheangle #brooktrout #rainbowtrout #browntrout #flyfishing

Redfish project near completion. I will mount this to a log slice and add hanging hardware. I have to put the eye in and lacquer it but it is pretty much finished. Any thoughts or advice? #redfish #artandangles #art #woodenfish #fishartbyjim #artoftheangle #artoftheanglewoodcarvings

What do you get when you combine 200 year old oak and raw emeralds? A pretty little celtic band for my wife! I do custom jewelery, comment inquiries. #artoftheangle #artandangles #Idocustomjewelerytoo #emeraldandoakmyfavorite #celticcreations

Roughing out a tarpon. I've never done one before. This is an acrylic on cavas. My wife taught me how to mask so I can airbrush the backround afterward. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated! #firsttarpononcanvas #paintingbyfaithsinceicantfeelmyhands #numbhandart #artandangles #art #artoftheangle #tarpon fishingart

Almost finished. Shari and Kristy are putting the Christmas tree and decorations up this year. I miss doing it but I work all the time. I think they do a better job anyway...Merry Christmas (or as the folks from the deep south say, Murry Crummus)from our home to yours!

Beauty is where you find it, and with an open heart, it can find you! #saturdaymorningwalksathome #autumoaksandoldwoodenbridges #getoutside #natureisawesome

"Is that what I think it is ?" ...why yes, yes it is! A huge friggen rough emerald I am cutting to lay in a solid oak (from a 200 year old live oak) ring I am making... #emeraldmybirthstone #roughgems #artandangles #artoftheangle #artoftheanglecreations

A trial run of a few items for the new yearI always had trouble with lettering on a larger scale, but I like this idea. #artoftheangle #relicreplicationart #ifitsnotnewitsthrough #artoftheangleart

Autumn in the South Carolina lowcountry. Beauty in nature is everywhere your heart can see. #southcarolinalowcountry #autumninthesouth #southcarolina #ilovenature #mothernatureisthebestartist

Sitting in my tiny work space and staring at the picture my youngest daughter painted for me for my 49th birthday. She has the most amazing ideas and talented artist, not to mention a helluva fly slinger. I miss the days we spent camping, flyfishing, panning and just being for those rare get aways. Blessed to have had the times that turned to magical memories....just a daddys rambling #ihaveamazingkids #bestgiftsever #ablessedoldman

While other projects finish drying, here are a few cutting boards in the que. I like to seal them first then cut and rout with final sand and finish. These boards are from pallets and are for using or decoration, I use mine. They are treated with butchers block so they are food safe. #palletprojectjunky #artoftheangleprojects #oldlookcuttingboards

The Rowan, the Oak and the Holly tree all three are sacred to the Celt. No wonder I am most at home amongst the trees! #celtandproudofit #thecelticlife #sacredtreesofthecelt ##iexistbecausetheydo #theyexistbecauseido
