Windfall Grouse: Ned Smith

And about anything else wildlife related he did.

mtcurman;
I see we have similar taste in artwork Ben, so perhaps you should be concerned about that - can't say for certain.

The one I quoted is framed and hanging above my desk at home.

We've got a few wildlife prints up in the house but my favorite of those is a pen and ink of some Bighorn rams done by a Chilcotin artist.

I'll have to see if I can get a decent photo of it sometime and put it up.

Anyway Ben, all the best to you and yours and good luck on any hunts you need to get done yet this fall.

His most well known and often seen work: http://www.leeteter.com/teter_website_028.htm

I have hanging large prints by Frederic Remington, and Georgia O'Keefe.

If you're in Ft. Worth, a cool place to go is the Amon Carter Museum. Not only do they have originals by western artists, like O'Keefe, Remington, and Russell, but admission is free.

Amon Carter grew up in New York City, and was poor. One day he wanted to go to the museum, and was distressed that he didn't have the $.05 admission. He later moved to Texas, made a large fortune in oil, and became a philanthropist. When he established his museum, he required that it would forever be free to the public.

The only valuable piece I have would be a large Murano glass sculpture, which I inherited.

Ned Smith, Jerry Raedeke, Redlin. I also have a print by Jim Rownd called "Missed Opportunity." It's a shot that should remind each of us of our early deer hunts. Young kid sitting in a tree stand with a single shot shotgun as a buck sneaks through behind him. The expression on the kid's face is priceless as he sees the buck ghosting through behind the stand. His hot chocolate is in mid-spill and his sandwich is about to fall out of his lap as he lunges for his gun.

Jim always hides extra critters in his pictures. There's a bird dog, two rabbits, a skunk, a blue jay and a pheasant all in the picture if you take time to look for them.

I'm also very partial to WWII aviation art too. Especially the "heavies." There's just something sexy about a B-17.

Have a painting of a Spitfire by Barrie A. F. Clark on my wall, can't figure out how to paste in a pic of it. The picture in this link is anemic compared to the painting.

Also have a painting of two mountain lions done by a pro artist friend on the opposite wall.

Good vibes all around.

To show them here I may have to take a photo of the paintings, put that in Photobucket and copy here. I'd rather go deer hunting instead, and will.

This oil by George Hetzel is in a local museum. Always reminds me of trout fishing as a kid.

Not paintings, but pencils by Dino Cornay.

I've got "Late Winter", and "Peaceful Evenin' ", My brother has "Surefooted", and my Dad has at least 2 others (don't remember the names)

I wish I knew how to show them!

I would have to say John Cowan is my favorite. A lot of his work was of places along the Texas Coast. I have several of his prints but I would say that "Blindside" is my favorite. Since I have had the good fortune to fish and duck hunt along the coast a bit over the years, his art reminds me of the great memories I have made there.

Anything by Arnie Frytag.

Favorite painting is "Between the Waves" by Russian painter Ivan Aivazousky. I saw it at the five rings exhibit in Atlanta during the Olympics in 96... very large painting of massive waves and a small ship in the center. So realistic I actually got woozy - sea sick from staring at the painting... Very powerful

The only piece of art I ever paid money for John Banovich's "Defensive Line"�.its hanging in my dining room�

"Evening Shadows" by H J Johnstone.

Original is in the state art gallery.

Anything by my dad. Born 1904 died 2002. Self taught watercolor artist, but branched into oils in his later years. Mostly country scenes and seascapes. Wish I had a photo to post.

I actually liked watching Bob Ross. He could make a chihuahua on expresso fall asleep.

Benny Bufano's "The Expanding Universe" in Timber Cove, California. I vividly remember stopping and talking with him as he was constructing it just off Highway 1 when I was a youngster as we headed up to our place in Pt. Arena.

My sister did this watercolor before she was killed.
