I've had so much fun painting some spoons that I purchased some lure blanks and painted up three just to see how they would come out. Lot of fun.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys I appreciate it. Fishy 1 thinks I'm addicted to painting. I think he's right. I'm sure it will pass so maybe then I can get some work done around the house!

With your obvious talent, I cannot see this as a passing fancy. Just the opposite! I think you will continue to get better and better. You have just scratched the surface. Keep up the great work.

Anything resembling yellow perch colors seems to be the lure of choice. Nice paint job.
