For Sale Rock Dam Brookie Painting Size 24" x 30", Acrylic on portrait canvas. Purchase price of Original Painting: $5800 plus shipping and handling "Rock Dam Brookie" depicts a brook trout hovering over a lush bed of northeastern stream vegetation while using the stream's current to assist during feeding time. As in all of my work I enjoy abstract shapes that intertwine with each other. "Rock Dam Brookie" is based upon a simple yet powerful combination of ovals and triangles. Tools that I use in much of my work. Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) are native to the eastern United States. These beautiful colorful freshwater fish are strong and survive in only the coldest and cleanest water. Brook trout are the nature's barometer of the health of the streams they inhabit. If you catch a Brook trout this indicates that ecosystem is healthy. The current of a stream or river has been described to that of a constant ocean breeze. It's endless motion that brings nourishment as the Brook trout faces the flow to catch its food at a moments notice. If you have the chance to witness feeding trout I highly recommend it. They are elegant and swift with full control of there surroundings. "Rock Dam Brookie" was painted with a darker palette to portray the depth of its habitat. Using Prussian blue, yellow ochre titanium white and cadmium orange to bring the painting to life. My vision for this painting was simple, don't over complicate the message. "Rock Dam Brookie" is meant to bring a calm feeling over the viewer. By drawing the viewers attention to the upper left side of the composition allowing the vegetation to take on movement from the viewers peripheral vision. Not to mention the patterns on the Brook trout are amazing to paint. Patterns catch my eye and many of my paintings are derived from natures patterns.

Handmade Custom Jewelry
Moving to the coast of Florida has inspired me to connect my love of painting the world around me to chasing my visions in silver. Florida's living beaches and wildlife intrigue me and make me want to share my 2 dimensional visions in the 3rd dimension as well. As such, I have decided to offer custom-made silver jewelry, such as the turtle you can see on this page.
Silver is my medium of choice, but I can work with any metal. I am classically trained in metalsmithing from Syracuse University (1990). I later followed up with an internship at Oneida Ltd. (previously Oneida Silversmiths) from 1998-2001. All of my jewelry is guaranteed to last a lifetime.
My work is all custom-designed and hand-made. Each piece is an original. Since each piece is made to your personal specifications, please allow up to 3 months for your order to be completed.
About Michael Lumbrazo
Since the earliest I can remember, I've been drawing the world around me. As I grew older I began to explore different mediums and found a love of depicting the natural world with paint. My mentors, John and Maria Sealey, Murry Tinkelman and Gary Trento encouraged me to persevere with my artistic aspirations. So, from my youth spent in the valleys of central New York to my young adulthood in the foothills of the Adirondacks, to my time spent in Northern California to the present in Northeastern Florida, I continue to paint the world around me.
My work features a variety of North American species. The accuracy of detail and research of the natural settings in my work reflect my immense respect for wildlife and its habitat.
For over two decades I have tried to inspire a love for the natural world with all of my paintings. From big game to birds of prey, each painting reflects a visual experience driven by my memories.
