Brandon Butler and Nathan “Shags” McLeod interview Al Agnew, famous naturalist painter known for his work capturing wildlife and scenery in realistic detail, and who has also never eaten a brown trout.

To view an Al Agnew painting is to be given the gift of a moment suspended in time. Whether on safari in Africa or roaming his native Ozarks, Agnew focuses all his attention on his subjects with the intensity of a predator. The sights, sounds, even the air that is breathed are channeled from his eye and mind to the stroke of his brush in exquisite detail. It is the culmination of his knowledge, love, and respect for the natural world, combined with his extraordinary skill of interpretation, that have made his work so effective in advocating the conservation of our natural resources, as well as earning him numerous honors and awards.

Topics Discussed: Teaching K-12 art classes, the difference between talent and interest, transitioning from teaching to artistry, his love for smallmouth bass, fishing every Sunday with his father, favorite spots in the Ozarks to fish, advocating for catch and release, flies that he has made, "Save the Meramec" history, his love/hate relationship with gigging, Yellowstone Park, rafting mishaps, mystery bait bucket and more.
