ORIGINAL FLY FISHING OIL PAINTINGS

You can now commission an original oil painting scene of your favorite trout stream in WNC from one of our own TU LOS members. Jim Hefley specializes in paintings of our beautiful mountain streams, many featuring a fly fisherman casting a fly or netting a trout.

--Several of Jim's fly fishing landscapes have been offered through several of our    

           premier fly fishing shops in WNC.

--Others have been donated and sold at charity auctions for cold water

            conservation.

--Several others are now available in two fine art galleries in WNC

His artist biography is also included in this section of  the LOS website.

You will find photo images of examples of Jim's oil painting portfolio featuring fly fishing scenes on WNC streams on this website. Some are not available since they have already been sold and some are available
only from art galleries which handle his work.  Note that his paintings in art galleries are generally higher than the commission prices shown below. When you commission an oil painting from Jim, he will work with
you to choose a scene that captures one of your wonderful trout fishing memories and also makes a good artistic composition.

If you are interested in discussing the idea of a Hefley custom oil painting for yourself, you can contact Jim as follows: Telephone: *828-277-9465* Email: * jhefley@charter.net

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Jim generously donates most of the sale proceeds  of commissioned oil paintings to TU Rivercourse Fund, primarily to support tuition grants, or "camperships", for boys and girls to attend our annual fly fishing and coldwater conservation camp (see the Rivercourse links on the LOS website).

Prices in 2008 for an original framed oil painting you may commission and buy direct from Jim
range in price from $300 to $ 1,000 depending on the size of the painting and the complexity
of the scene.
