Brown trout, Salmo trutta, depicted here feeding during a hatch of Easten Green Drake mayflies, Ephemera guttulata. The genus name for the mayfly is an apt one, meaning something of no lasting significance. The life cycle of of mayflies spans the year, but after emerging from their aquatic form, the terrestrial Mayfly, its sole purpose being propagation of its species, seldom lives more than a few days.
Rendered in Pen&Ink with colored ink washes, this image is utilized as part of a silkscreen design. The serigraph was then created with six manually generated color separations and printed with fine mesh screens.
