Do you have a favorite vintage photograph of the family fishing in Port A? Does the snapshot of your grandchild with their first redfish melt your heart away?  Or do you just love that photo of your old skiff and stringer of Spanish Mackerel?  Make those memories even larger and more colorful by winning a commissioned painting of that fabulous image by Port Aransas’ own Harbor Master, Charlie Fisher.  Charlie will take your photograph and add his own magical twist, transforming it into a beautiful 16″ x 20″ painting on canvas.  You can see examples of his work in the 100 years of Sport Fishing exhibit at the Port Aransas Museum.  Charlie perused the museum’s photo archives for classic examples of fishing in Port A, then turned them into works of art to help illustrate the show.
