I don't have a lot, but one of the things I get a lot of enjoyment out of is the little bit of wildlife/western art that I have in the house. I also love nice walnut stocks on rifles, but for the money, and more apt to buy a great print that I can put on the wall and enjoy every dau, rather than a nice stock to sit in the safe except for the times it gets taken out to be dinged dented and destroyed. Anyone else enjoy Paul Calle, Robert Bateman and their ilk? Fred

Also like Tom Mansanarez's artwork a lot. I've chatted with him at RMEF and suchlike events, and he's a nice guy too. Dennis "The more you run over a dead cat, the flatter it gets."

I have one Paul Calle, a mule deer done by a local talent, two fish carvings that are among my favorites, and a couple others done by unknowns. I enjoy finding great work done by people that are trying to get established. Also, in wildlife art, I include mounted antlers which fascinate me. I think a simply mounted set of antlers is elegant.

Oil on board and water colors. Years ago he did a bunch of limited edition etchings. He has a great coffee table book available if your interested. http://www.thomasaquinasdaly.com/ Last edited by Lawdwaz; 05/05/10.

I tried to get a print of a coyote he did years ago...and it was off the charts price wise.. Ive got a CM Russell in here ( Mandatory.... ) and a John Banovich..plus a bronze of a Cape buffalo..I forgot who did it... so theres a tiny sampling here anyway....my attempt at "culture"...

I do have Nancy Glazier, robert duncan, carl seybolt, marian anderson, jack poluh and Russ Walker (my Father). I was stuck at a desk in a office for a bunch of years and western/wildlife art helped me deal with it.

My wife an I have a few of each's prints. Robert Bateman, like you say, is tops too.... FYI: The Southeastern Wildlife Expo in Charleston, SC each Valentines weekend is the greatest gathering of wildlife artist,and their work on the planet...well worth the trip there if you can ever make it. You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.
