Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Western Art...

I've got three nice framed Charlie Russel prints. Not even sure what they are named.

Wife hates them. Gave one to pop a couple years ago.

Wife decorates. If it was up to me, probably nothing. I do like the prints in this thread though.

Some nice paintings and artifacts on this post..Very much appreciated !

Had to look for this one. Didn't even realize the wife took it down and put it in the closet. Lol.


Besides the CR, just a couple local artist pieces and a photo of the old light house building and Rainer from here on the island.

A 1975 NRA series Gene Glasso ink drawing of a Bighorn Sheep head.
A younger hunters dream hunt.

And this AB Frost print.



I met a much older gentleman hunter dressed just like this dude as he was exiting, and I was entering a corn field. He was dressed nearly exactly this way with the knee high boots and coat. He looked to be in his late 70's at the time, this was in the early 1990's. I love to hunt cornfields, but ya gotta know how,

We stopped and exchanged some polite conversation, and I was just taken with him, he looked like he stepped right out of the 1920's. Very thin and lanky, tall. Seems his wife was sick and couldn't handle a steady diet of ground beef any longer, so he was out just trying to kill him/her a pheasant to help her diet.
I wish I would've spoken to him longer. It was a blustery day, and he pulled his hanky out of his back pocket to wipe his red nose and laugh warmly. He had the shirt buttoned up all the way to his neck, and a string tie on. Old double barrel shotgun. He was terrific.

It is one of my most cherished hunting memories.

A few of Bev Doolittle's early prints like Woodland Encounter and Two Indian Horses. Lots of late 1800's maps of the Colorado portion of the Wheeler Survey, a couple of McCarthy prints, a few local area artists in western South Dakota, Posters of art events that depict western themes. A Gary Carter print, and stuff like that. Indian artifacts found on private property in Colorado and South Dakota.

When CMR illustrated letters were less than $10K I didn't have the money. Now they are through the roof and I don't have the money. Some things never change.

The flags given by th US Army at the death of my DAd and my FIL.

I have several good western wildlife prints in my den.

I like this one.
Things getting a little "Western".

I have one picture taken from the refinery managers office of our place in Odessa before I commenced the demo of the facility. It is on a wall at the place in Idaho. Signed, dated, etc... No photo though. My colleague at the same facility had a great collection of Terry Redlin's stuff. I enjoyed his Redlin works.

I have several Robert Bateman prints, all signed by the man himself after I had lunch with him several years ago.
As well a few generic paintings. There are also a couple of paintings my wife inherited when her folks passed that were acquired when they were posted to Germany in the late 1950's
of the Swiss Alps.
There is also a photo of the farm house my Mom grew up in that is well framed.

Geezus...do you HAVE to be cooler than everybody ALL the time????

huntsman22 these wagons are the best. I love all the art but just knowing your dad made these makes them even more amazing in my book. Your place is incredible. -tnscouter

My brother still has a Heiser that I grew up riding - and his sons grew up riding. Still in good shape.

I've got a couple of limited edition prints, done by a local artist named Dino Cornay - a VERY good artist. One features an acquaintance and his pinto gelding.

(Our Heiser is a center-fire rig, however)

We have two Heine Hartwig original oils of Native American villages, one a prairie scene, the other a mountain scene. We hit a few jackpots back in the 1980's and spent it on one of the Hartwigs at the casino art shop. When we got it home it looked lonely, so we called back and bought the other. Being that I have Native American ancestry from my mother's French Canadian side, they appealed to me, and my wife said both evoked a sense of spiritual freedom that appealed to her. The only other related art we have is an original Ansel Adams photograph of a redwood forest scene that was gifted to my wife. I wish I had more.

Did you shoot that elk with that Red Label?

A few shots from the game room.

A few more.

Fun thread, Sam, and very cool stuff, Huntsman.

We just have a few old prints at the hunting shack.
My favorite, of those, is called "A Break at Dawn" by Philip R. Goodwin.

Here's the FB page of a friend of mine, who I think does some pretty good western art: https://www.facebook.com/artworkbyernest/
