Edged in light and worn by the river’s pull, these fins stand like weathered blades against the drift. Painted from a photograph of Kalyn Hoggard’s trophy smallmouth bass, River Blades reflects the quiet resilience of wild waters — shaped by time, current, and the untamed life moving through them. In this small watercolor, strength and softness meet, capturing a fleeting moment where earth, water, and creature are woven together.
