Seems I’ve got to watch everything I say on my own Blog … LOL … I’ve got reporters coming in here, quoting me and writing stories without my permission. Wow! Never thought I’d have this lovely problem. LOL
So the bugguttin’ is still on … trying to get a publisher for the book.

Chris Seinar gets first pick on the canvases … but there will be plenty to go around.
Studio Boss is about to fire me … gotta go. Until next time … look me up on Facebook. My anonymity is blown … Amelia D Maddox. LOL
Late!
]]>Hello Everyone!
I’ve moved again … Back to my original studio off of Willow. 
Production is on again … I’m all settled in.
Jeff Reed … Owner of River’s Bend Lodge in Emigrant, Montana has invited me to fish the Yellowstone later this month. Yippee!
What a beautiful place … Can’t wait to tell you all about it. I’ve been elected as the “honorary artist” to do commissioned paintings for their guests. I’ll be painting many Stone Cutts and looking forward to it.

Ryan Sansoucy … Owner of Hush Fishing Co. in Woodstock, CT has invited me to the East Coast for some adventurous fly fishing & filming … Watch out!
I’ll be filming with Unveiled Productions as they take an inside look at the lives and passions of fly anglers from all walks of life. Â I guess I made the list. lol
Then I’ll be filming with NE Anglers … Starring in their chic anglers’ show. This should be a hoot! :) The pressure is on to learn the double-haul. lol
Ken Morrow from El Paso, TX writes an amazing fly fishing blog called “Upstream”. He’s using one of my Trout Skins for the cover page.
Check it out!

Facebook has been a blast … Look for AD Maddox … I’ve started a group and post new paintings every week.
I’m picking up the Ducati in Vegas soon … And Yes! More Bug Art this summer! I’ll be “splatting the hatch” June - August. Hope to see you on the road … I’ll be kind and keep it under 100.
Tight lines and as always … Thanks for your support.

I moved back to the same studio I was in before I moved to Vegas … Really sick of moving. lol
So I’m settled in and just started painting again today. More trout skins are on the easel and starting back on a cutty in the water.
All is fantastic! I’m a happy little artist as usual … Picking up my Ducati in Vegas in 2 weeks and doing a photo shoot for the Catalogues Magazine in May. More Bug Art as I promised. Can’t wait for the press to get on this one.
Like they say … Any Press is Good Press.
Come and get it … I’m tossin’ the fly.
]]>January 2009 will bring New Prints … I’ve got 7 new ones in the Que … let you know soon which ones.
Painting Trout Skins tomorrow … Looking forward to building my new house and having an extra large studio!!!
Be bloggin soon!
I’m starting with the Trout Skins! I’ve a few remote boxes I might finish up and definitely the abstract trout. Talk soon when the paint is actually flying.
]]>I’ve been fortunate enough to have awesome help in such a short period of time since I’ve been back. But still I’m anxious to get back on the canvas. Something about the ever so elusive trout in the water … challenges me every time. What colors? Cold? Hot? Detailed? or Loose? … eh … I’m thinking warped and loosely abstract. Just a subtle hint that there’s a beautiful slippery sucker in that paint mess. Hmmm? And out of all the trout … the Brown trout is my favorite to paint BTW. You might like to know.
Art sales and the Econ Crunch? Yipes! I think I will avoid the obvious and say at this moment in time … I’m planning to have an incredible time in the studio. My paint dungeon … My space … So I’ll just have me some fun and let the brush flow.
3 more days and counting!!!!! BTW … I miss riding my Ducati 999! It’s in storage in Vegas at the racetrack. I just put a new Termi exhaust system on ‘er and she purrs like a lion. I’m bug-gutting for sure this summer. I’ve got a special mount being built for ‘er. I’m shooting for 50 canvases and a book! … Why? It’s a game. Games are fun and create interest … thus it’s fun attention units.
Off to play Kramer with the neighbors.
I was on the phone for hours to get this task complete so now you can take a look and buy all you’d like. I’ve only 30 Took the One’s available … that’s why the price is up … the paper edition is almost complete. I’ll have 10 Artist Proofs on paper then I start into the 90 canvas prints and these will start around $500. So get the paper one while you can.
The studio is still being built … can’t wait to slap the paint and get more Trout Skins painted. I’ll keep you posted!

]]>Not enough room in the house for my paint castle so I’m constructing the Bill Gate’s Special … my own exclusive two car garage studio! I can’t wait!
The paint starts flying soon and bug-gutting starts in June. I’ll be painting tons of abstract trout skins and trout in the water … oil on canvas.
I’ll be blogging almost everyday once the studio is moving.
