Rustic fishing art is a
category of wildlife wall paintings that are highly popular among sportsmen and people fascinated by the country lifestyle. These
wildlife wall paintings feature a variety of fish and are considered
relaxing hobby pictures.
Surprisingly,
rustic fishing art has been pursued widely through
pop art illustrations. These works, like 'To the Lake' by Paul Brent and 'Fishing-Angler's Faith' by Geoff Markovich, can either show only the fish or have the fisherman included, as well. Both
types of pop art illustrations are highly popular among modern audiences, however, sportsman who don't focus on one kind of fishing in particular often use the more
symbolic rustic fishing art to depict their hobby.
Country life images are often associated with this category of art. These works are considered characteristic of the art category and often feature rolling hills and relaxation. Country life pictures such as Norman Rockwell's infamous 'Lazy Days' and 'Fishing Gear' by Ron Jenkins are two examples of how these relaxing hobby prints can be portrayed in a more rural setting.
Wildlife wall paintings are fascinating examples of natural life and rustic fishing art is no exception. While many of these works focus on fish that are of value to fisherman, there's no denying that these works provide insight into various kinds of aquatic life and into the field of fishing. For example, in the pop art illustration 'Large Mouth Bass' by Anita Phillips, not only is the fish shown but also the equipment that would be required to catch one.
