Amusing allegorical folk art painting of a man fishing on a river or lake with a bear coming up behind him, a thunder storm with sharp lightning, a fish out of the creel, a 'No Trespassing / Private Property' sign, a spilt bottle, and a sinking boat...but there is a rainbow on the horizon! I am not a fisherman, but I guess the message here is, "I'd Rather Be Fishing."
