Description
This is for a close friend of mine Dave, best known as (Heathcroft). Dave is a magnificent Poser artist and creates some of the most amazing fantasy art you will ever see. His Castle Stories are always a treat and among my favorites. They are always filled with countless colorful characters and the story brings them to life. He has a great sense of humor and always manages to add a little bit to his stories. I'm grateful for his friendship to me during tough times and consider myslef lucky to have gotten to know him so well. This story is such a treat and I only hope I can bring it to life as well as he did for me. Thanks for listening,
Dave
Fish Tales (For Heathcroft): When Dave was six he lived in a hotel close to the sea. He was a fan of fishing and loved to watch the old men gather and fish off the rocks of the sea wall. One August Dave was given a fiber glass fishing pole as a present while his uncle Ralph was visiting from Lancashire. Neither of them knew much about fishing but wanted to go. Everyone came outside and his Father Malcolm stood quietly watching and smiling alongside his Mum Eileen, as if they both knew a secret. Dave's sister Maureen was laughing at him and kept him distracted while his Uncle walked down to talk to one of the men who had caught several fish. His Uncle Ralph hired one of the younger men to swim down and put one of his fish on Dave's line without him knowing. Pretty soon Dave felt a mighty tug at his line, and pulled for all he was worth. Almost instantly out came a huge grey mullet thrashing about on his pole. Dave ran around showing his family his amazing catch, and was so proud. It was only years later that they told him the truth about his first fish and this fishing tale.

You're a born storyteller. You could be writing and illustrating children's books. Thanks for sharing these great scenes with the rest of us. I love the arm coming out of the water reaching toward the fish, the expression on the boy's face, the parents' hold, and all the fine details of the spectators, the time period and set. Well done.

They say a picture paints a thousand words, and this one certainly tells a wonderful story, great capture of this real life moment, the mood, the emotions, all brought to life in one excellent scene, ggreat work!

by now your humanity is well-known: the capture of people, each in their moment of private revelation & how everyone (and I mean everyone) is connected with the key players...but again your sense of the moment is stunning: The observers far left with their 'caught-in-the-moment' postures, the dog—a true 'snapshot' capture, must've been difficult to do with his in-the-motion posture—the fish just barely touching the wall as it flies up towards Dave, the moving skirts, twisted pant legs, Dave's in-the-middle-of-anticipation pose, even the detailing on the thongs (flowers!) and that wild old house under a dramatic sky...you packed this with the colors & motions of memory and anticipation, where everything is in harmony with those feelings. Another truly heartful render from you, where you make us all proud to have & want to share Life. Wonderful as it always is...

A truly delightful story of the fish and the uncle who played such a loving trick on Dave. And your wonderful scene has captured the thrill and joy of the moment so well. CC

It just struck me, Dave, there is a book in your works - a collection. It would make a great coffe table piece, hardbound with all your art and accompanying stories. "Memories", you should call it. I would buy a dozen copies because they would make great gifts. I am really serious about this!

Wow! Uncle Ralph was very crafty! Very cute and intelligent narrative image! An extremely well done scene!

Such a delightful scene you set Dave. This is such a natural looking and very typical scene of life at the seaside and you have depicted it so marvellously. Excellent work Sir. Please accept my apologies for the lateness of my comment. I'm really busy at present. Steve :o)
