Hunting KobSOLD (42cm x 30cm (18" x 22") Pencil) Craig Bertram Smith Please contact craig@wildlifeartist. co. za for enquiries or if you would like to get a commission painted. Kob Chase depicts a hunting scene of a kob or kabeljou bursting forward out of the depths after a few flag tail fish, but then singles out an imitation lure along the sandy estuarine river bed. I wanted to create motion and action, so I indicated dust in the background showing the path

The conditions created an ideal feeding zone for kingfish

In the painting I wanted to portray their characteristic activity showing the hornbill with a freshly caught grasshopper snatched out from the grass

They are a pelagic species and highly migratory

I have always been intrigued by life in the deep

I finally chose flat open water just past the roots which defined the shape of the fish and the structure

A leerie is portrayed breaking the water's surface as it chases after a small shad

Paying close attention to details such as the unusual scale pattern running along the sides of the fish

I was able to then sketch it in a preliminary drawing

with its olive green to yellow appearance and dorsal and tail fins lined with intense orange or red

For a fish to be able to survive in the open ocean there are many restrictions and natural elements that they have to overcome

rain jacket and board short variants

the challenge was on
