The Winnah!


This display shares wall space with the World Record Holding Muskie in Hayward, Wisconsin at The Moccasin Bar. There are many things I love about this one. The little dribble of blood leaking out of he nose and mouth of the vanquished. Looks like roadkill doesn't he? The trainers are particularly animated. The losing trainer hiding his face in shame. The winner's manager still talking trash. The emotion in this piece is all about the skunks. And the contrast of the exhausted looking "Winnah" is well played.

I love the owl in the tree. The far-off bear in the field. And to correct Roadside America, the referee is a beaver. (I mean, what use has a groundhog for webbed feet and a paddle tail?)
