Catching fish in an old boot
A humourous painting by Malcolm Greensmith depicting a lad fishing by a stream (ignoring the warning sign!) having far more success catching fish in his boot, which he has obviously been dangling into the stream. His pet Spaniel seems amused by the whole scene. Date: circa 1980

The Unconventional Angler - A Humorous Scene by Malcolm Greensmith, Circa 1980
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful painting by Malcolm Greensmith, we find a young lad with an unconventional approach to fishing by the riverbank. Ignoring the warning sign, he focuses intently on his unusual fishing technique, dangling an old boot into the crystal-clear stream. The boot, filled with water and adorned with a twig and a makeshift float, has proven to be a successful catcher of fish, as evidenced by the line trailing from it, laden with wriggling fish. The lad's faithful pet Spaniel sits nearby, observing the scene with amusement, its ears perked up and tail wagging. The wooden streamside, reed bed, and pair of wellington boots add to the historical charm of the painting, transporting us back to a simpler time. As the lad pours the contents of his apple into the water, perhaps as bait, we can't help but chuckle at his ingenuity and the audacity of his defiance against the rules. The scene is a testament to the enduring spirit of adventure and the joy of discovery, even when it comes to the unconventional ways of catching fish. This charming painting, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a must-have for any collection of humorous and historical art. The playful interaction between the lad, his dog, and the fish in the old boot is sure to bring a smile to your face and a sense of nostalgia to your heart.
