Field Notes is a collection rooted in slow observation, memory, and place. Each piece begins as a colored pencil drawing, a deliberate and intimate way of studying landscape, line by line. From there, the drawings are transformed through the use of baby oil as a binder, softening the marks and allowing the scenes to blur, breathe, and settle into something more impressionistic.
The landscapes depicted in this collection are not tied to a single location, but rather to a feeling. They are inspired by familiar scenes, moments of stillness, and the subtle emotional responses that arise when spending time outdoors. There is a quiet nostalgia present throughout the work, a sense of remembering rather than documenting, of feeling rather than defining.
Through muted color, softened edges, and gentle movement, Field Notes invites the viewer to slow down and linger. These paintings are meant to evoke calm and reflection, mirroring the way a landscape can ground us, offer rest, and hold space for emotion without asking anything in return. Much like notes taken in the field, this body of work serves as a personal record of observation, emotion, and the ever-changing relationship between memory and place.

Our leather goods face their true test when in the hands of 3 fly fishing guides from Kentucky – meet the team at The Fly Box.
Eight years ago in Lexington, Kentucky, we crossed paths with 3 anglers who became daily users of C&C leather goods out on the water.
Jonathan, Forrest, and Cy, a father-son trio from Kentucky, are fly fishing guides on the South Holston River in East Tennessee. After a decade of fishing trips to the SOHO river, they decided to leave a lasting mark on the bank of the river by opening The Fly Box.
The guys host top-tier fly fishing guides on some of the most pristine waters in East Tennessee. But for them, guiding wasn’t enough. Opening The Fly Box was an opportunity to bring together their passion for fly fishing and their vision to build a sense of community in East Tennessee for anyone who appreciated the waters as they did. The Fly Box is built as a home away from home, a place where anglers, adventurers, and regulars can gather after a day on the water. A place to grab a beer and share the fishing stories that will be told for generations to come.
These guys share the same mantra as we do at C&C: building meaningful and lasting relationships. We’re excited to share their story this Father's Day.
