My dad died about 20 years ago. He was an avid fisherman, who in his later years, joined his love for fishing with his love for art and began sketching fish and fish scenes in a diary he kept of his fishing trips.
He was an amazing man: brilliant, talented and would have loved this website. When I saw this tie, I really wished he was alive to see it. I know that sounds incredibly petty, since he never met most of his grandchildren (from whom he would have derived endless joy, pride and delight) or lived to see Bernard Madoff nailed (which he would have really enjoyed).
That said, I think he would have greatly appreciated the artistry that went into this quiet tie. The fish are absolutely jumping, the water is roiling and it is all done in the staid maroon background with blue accents.
IF you have the time and inclination, look at the close up of the fabric -- it is pretty amazing.
Thanks for looking.
Superb quality, beau, magnifique !
