“The Hatch” by Leon Thexton
I was walking by my piano this afternoon and have “The Hatch” sitting on top of it. I hadn’t thought about Leon or that piece of art in some time. I think I got it in the mid/late 90’s. We fly fished the Madison with my grandparents and Leon was our guide. My grandpa bought me that piece of art, and I’ve had it ever since.
I decided to google Leon and see what he’d been up to over the past couple decades. Sad to hear he’s passed.
