Benito Perez Paints, too

My friend, Benito Perez, from the Mendoza Fly Shop in Argentina is more than just an accomplished angler. He is the author of the first angler’s entomology of the Argentine Patagonia, and a very skilled artist. I’ve seen his work up close and personal, and it’s fine indeed. He just sent me a photo of a 4 foot by 3 foot oil painting of one of Argentina’s mayfly spinners. I especially like the way the wing shows its transparency.

Benito’s art is a delight, especially to the fly fisher.
