Another print from my extensive collections! Love it. The straight flush took out his 4 aces Cassius Marcellus Coolidge!

Grandpa and Grandma had a couple prints hanging in their farmhouse that always intrigued me. They were passed down to me and hang in my house. Bugling Elk by Theo Boehling

I tried to buy "Trouble on the trail", someone liked it more than I. Is that around on the net? A snowshoer with a sled dogs aiming a rifle at wolf.

Grandma and Grandpa had one in the farmhouse. I have one like this i inherited from my "other" Grandpa. Mine is only a fragile paper print. But there were several variations. All by an artist named Kolwalski. He painted other themes too. Many hunting related in Eastern Europe and also pretty cool! I remember as a young lad just staring at the one in the old farmhouse at night. Thinking how cold it looked. Kinda reminded me Of the snow here tonight. My old copy hangs with all my other stuff ( yes including obligatory "Dogs Playing Poker" print), in my bed room. My grandfather had the same print on the wall is his den. My father found it at his old house a few years ago and has it framed and on the wall now. He said it was his favorite picture growing up.

I liked this particular picture of der gute alte jager. (sorry, I edited it a bit) That painting is entitled "A Forester at Home". I need to show that one to my wife, just to remind her of what she signed up for!

This print by Phillip R. Goodwin hung in my Dad and Uncle's northern Wisconsin deer camp. My first time at deer camp was at the age of 10 and I admired the picture for years and when the camp was sold I was lucky enough to salvage it.

I have the same Lone Wolf painting that some of you have. It belonged to my great-grandparents. My grandparents also had one, that hung above their bed. Mine hung for years, until my wife decided to put it away. I am going to remedy that, some way, some how.

My grandparents(both now deceased) were antique collectors and along with some originals they had a bunch of old prints.
The wolf pic and several others are hanging down in my reloading/spare bedroom.
The only reason I would like a bigger house is to add some more of the paintings and furniture. We have run out of room and wall space!
Most notable from their collection are a couple William 'Fire Bear' Standing paintings. Originals...
They have been hanging safely in our local bank for quite some time.
I must have caught the bug from them as I really love (old)western art. This new-age chit makes me want to puke.
Speaking of dogs playing cards... My mom swears grandma had that one as well but we never did find it. That is an absolute classic!
