We were treated to a special event yesterday, Master Marine Artist Steve Whitlock took us through the steps involved when making his most recent piece, The Texas Slam… all by pencil!

Framed prints will be around 135.00 in a 16 x 20 print size. Frames at 19 x 23 or so…The original is $700.00 and is sold.

Steve Whitlock was born in Tampa in 1959 and raised in Naples. As a boy he and his father would often stop along the Tamiami Trail, break out the fly rods and catch Bass and Bluegill. Growing up fishing and hunting the Everglades was an interesting and unique part of his life that shaped a lifelong love of the outdoors.
