Shubert captures that quality in the slight open set of the jaw, the hard metallic sheen of the flanks, and the compact, muscular body form. Against the pale, nearly luminous background, the fish reads as a thing built for speed and violence — which it is. The greenish-blue of the back fades to silver-white at the belly with the kind of tonal gradation that separates a painter's painter from a decorator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Location\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluefish enter the Chesapeake Bay in late spring and remain through fall, following menhaden and other baitfish in tight schools. They are known throughout the Bay for the frenzied feeding blitzes that boil the surface, drawing gulls and anglers alike. On the seaside of the Eastern Shore, in the inlets and near-shore waters of the Virginia coast, bluefish are a primary target species and a fixture of the region's recreational fishing culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eArtist's Perspective\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"These 15-20 inch fish are common in late summer and fall schools on the Potomac River. There's nothing quite like fly-fishing during \"the golden twilight of a crisp fall day\" amidst the gulls.\"\u003c\/em\u003e — Marty Shubert\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCurator's Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorks beautifully as part of Shubert's naturalist fish portrait series alongside the red drum, seatrout, striped bass, and white perch. Painted with the same background color as the Atlantic Bluefish and White Perch so that they can be easily combined. A clean, authoritative addition to a dining room, study, or fishing retreat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrint Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArchival-Quality Canvas.
