A wistful childhood memory inspired a painting
Jennifer McCabe Carrasco and her painting Fishing for Trout
By Jennifer McCabe Carrasco
Finished! I carved out a week before Xmas this year to attempt a 10x6 foot vertical painting. No commission requisites, no ordained subject matter from on high, no style requirements nor painstaking designing and drawing……just my own personal work, which I have named “Fishing for Trout”. The fish shapes are painted with pearlized iridescent paint, not white.
The fish are painted with iridescent paint.
My vague plan was to use big brushes, lots of paint, draw on my themes of water in the landscape and let ‘er rip. I can’t express how engaged I was, how exultant I felt when I finished last night. This is the best gift this crappy year has given me.

Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife authorities are seeking information into the separate shootings of a bald and golden eagle earlier this month in Columbia County.
The first eagle was found last week near Payne Hollow, between Waitsburg and Dayton. It appeared to be shot about a week before. It was still alive but so severely injured that it had to be killed.
The second eagle was in the Tucannon Habitat Management Unit, located downriver of Little Goose Dam, with a gunshot to a leg.
The juvenile bird is also believed to have been shot about a week before it was found.
