LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — The Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum (CFFCM), 1031 Old Rte. 17, is displaying an exhibit of paintings of trout by watercolorist Steven Weinberg in the Wulff Gallery. The exhibition will remain through September 5, including during Summerfest on August 5 and 6.

“Most are brook trout I catch in the West Kill right behind the Spruceton Inn where I live. A few others are brown trout from the rest of the Catskills. Most of these paintings are in the life-size—eight- to 18-inch—range,” Weinberg explained.

Weinberg lives in the Catskills with his wife Casey Scieszka and his dog Waldo, and runs the bed and bar called the Spruceton Inn in West Kill.

“When I’m not painting trout, I paint landscapes,” he added. “Some days, walking out my door at the Spruceton Inn, I think, why isn’t everybody else painting landscapes too?” he said. “It’s just so drop-dead beautiful up here. And always changing. And, really, the way the clouds drape shadows across the mountains.”

Weinberg also writes and illustrates children’s books when he’s not fly fishing in the Catskills. For more about his work, visit stevenweinbergstudio.com and @steven_draws. For more about CFFCM visit www.cffcm.com or call 845/439-4810.
