Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The first artist ever to have a one-man retrospective at the National Bird Dog Museum (Grand Junction, Tenn.), Eldridge Hardie paints oil and watercolor scenes of hunters chasing grouse and ducks; trout in Colorado's South Platte River; fly fishermen; noble-looking Labradors and pointers; and other sporting scenes. The Paintings of Eldridge Hardie: Art of a Life in Sport gathers many of these works which showcase some of America's most beautiful wilderness spots, from South Carolina to Wyoming along with drawings and notes from Hardie's sketchpad and some extensive captions by Hardie with background information on the scenes in the paintings.

From Booklist

A hunter and fisher by avocation, Hardie parlayed his love of outdoor sport into a successful career as a painter. Now in his early 60s, Hardie has accumulated a body of work celebrated in this colorful and moody album. Its two predominant subjects are bird hunters and their dogs in flushing or shooting poses (curiously, no moment of shooting itself is depicted) and anglers in casting action. And since bird hunting usually occurs in the fall or winter, near dawn or dusk, Hardie's backdrop landscapes reflect low-angle sunlight on subdued ruddy, tawny, and snowy gray colors, lending a slightly ethereal effect to some scenes. Hardie also displays flair in illustrating animals in motion: pheasants on the wing, pointers on alert, or trout swimming are frequently central elements in his watercolors and oils. Sportsmen will savor this high-quality reproduction of 100-plus images. Gilbert Taylor
