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 for sale at a local art gallery. 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 the paintings in art galleries are generally 75% - 100% higher than the prices shown below. When you commission an oil painting from Jim, he will work with you to choose a scene that makes a good artistic composition. 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 are as follows: CANVAS SIZE PRICE (*) 12x9 $200 14x11 $275 16x12 $350 18x14 $435 20x16 $540 (*) Price is for oil paintings done from existing photos, either Jim's or yours. If he has to make a field trip to your favorite site on a WNC stream to take photos to use for your oil painting, there will be a $25 surcharge.
