Arctic Grayling

After 4 years of on and off work, the Arctic Grayling is finally finished. This fish is based on an individual sampled during fisheries work from the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge population, which is a glacial relict from the Wisconsinan Ice Age. This is the last endemic population of adfluvial Arctic grayling in the contiguous United States.
 
I am very proud of this painting - I had attempted an Arctic Grayling years ago and was never happy with how it came out. Although the wait was several years, it was more than worth it.
