First Catch of the Day - Young Fisherman at Sea

Figurative oil painting of a young boy out at sea holding a fish on his lap by Bay Area artist Betty (American, 20th C). The boy is holding his catch while dressed in a white long sleeve shirt with a green poncho draping over the front, his eyes protected by a beige sunhat. Shades of blues and greens make up the ocean background with mountaintops in the near distance.
