David Maass Signed, Limited edition Print, “Backwater Hideaway-Wood Ducks”. #154/900, Printed area 25″ x 16″. It has been stored flat, which is much better than rolled. (As I list this, there is another one on a famous auction for buy it now price of $249.99) This print is Mint condition. $125

Original Painting. “Sunset Goldeneyes” by Chris Scheidler. 1986. Painted area about 24″ x 12″, plus matting and frame. I could not get over the three dimensional aspect of this painting. I had to actually reach out and feel that the one drake’s wing is not sticking out of the canvas! Purchased directly from the artist at a show in Pennsylvania. Signed. Mint. $300
Dan Christ-Autumn Trio. 1986. Signed, Limited edition print. #167/600, 19 3/4″ x 14 3/4″. Where is the trio you may ask? There are three cock pheasants in the painting. Look closely, Dan is an expert at realism and showing you just what you might see in the wild. See them now? Stored flat. Mint $125
“Quiet Morning Canada Geese” by Bruce Langton. Large print, measures about 28 by 14 inches. #141/950. If interested, please call or email. How many of you noticed the gentleman with his Lab walking in the background? Kinda makes me think of fall possibilities… I messed this one up in editing. The whole tone of the scene is softer than I have it in picture. The highlights on the geese (white areas on the wings) for example, are much more muted than I have them. I don’t know how to fix it. Mint, stored flat. $85
“Ruffed Grouse on Snow” by Tim Schultz. Small edition size, signed of course. I will have to get it back out and get the details. Until then just enjoy looking, or call me to force me to do it sooner. $85
Limited edition Print by George Bird Evans. This is the only print George ever made, although we all enjoyed his art in his books. It is hard to believe he only did one print, but that is fact and here it is. Was supposed to be a run of more, but only about 300 prints were actually produced. Three hundred! That makes this a very limited print. It is titled Tony’s Mayhem Speck. This dog was his father’s and the one he used when he returned home on vacations from school.(See A Sporting Gentleman by Catherine Harper in our book section. It is the biography of Mr. Evans’ life.) Print area is about 22 by 18 inches. It is SIGNED by George Bird Evans. George painted it in 1931. Print was made in 1986. Both dates show on print. Below the image there is a sentiment that shows how deeply connected to his setters George was. This print is #131/950. (The flash washed out the colors, which are much more vibrant than in the photo. The flash also bounced off the shelves on the opposite wall and they show on the matte area especially. I am a lousy photographer.) (cel) SOLD

Print is #6379/9000. The flash has washed out the colors slightly and resulted in reflected images on the print and matte which are not there. (Photography is a mystery I have not solved.) Mint in frame. $275
