A Passing Morsel Fishing Fly

A drifting offering, seen in a fleeting moment below the surface.

A Passing Morsel captures the quiet tension between movement and opportunity—a fly suspended in the current, its soft fibers breathing with the water. Inspired by a pattern tied by David Menzies, the painting reflects the subtle life of the fly as it becomes something more than materials and thread—an instinctive invitation.

This small watercolor invites the viewer into the fish’s perspective, where detail softens, light diffuses, and everything happens in an instant.

The painting is 3 x 2.5 inches in a matted 4 x 5 inch black frame.
