Something to get you all in hi gear for this season. Brett Smith is one of my favorite artists.

Very nice

A few more.

Thanks Rick!

Cool stuff Rick

I really like that one with the snow/blue.

Awesome painting for sure. Man can really capture a sunrise. Thanks for posting.

Neat. (As was feeling a little cool breeze instead of being smothered by heat and humidity when airing the dogs this morning.)

A balmy 48 this morning here, cool enough I wore my suit to the hot tub

WF, I'm gonna hold you to that hunt you have talked about, hell, if be happy just coming down and running around that marsh in a pirogue, which to my dismay jr and I never got the chance to try in la, I'm pretty sure I won't fall

Rick, did you paint those? They are awesome either way.

Oh boy. I see a "duck dick" in your future

Ha! I just saw that he didn't. I haven't had my coffee yet, besides aren't you supposed to be off shitting in the woods getting covered with fleas.

god I hope not, my legs are covered in bites, bastards

Here's a few more of Brett Smith's work. I can honestly say that almost every single one of his pieces reminds me of different mornings spent in the marsh with family and friends over the past 50 years.

I wish I had a few of those, but he does use a little too much mustard in his sunrises.

As does what I find good waterfowl art. Don't much care how pretty a duck or dog may be if it doesn't evoke more than "Great duck."

Any time John.As of last Sunday I am 100% retired. My oldest son has just been approved by the marine underwriters as master of my old boat and is taking over my job. Working and living on houseboat full time now preparing to head north to eastern shore of Virginia from Okeechobee next week. Won't be missing many days of hunting this upcoming season. Let me know when you fellas are in the mood to kill some brant and geese and I'll tell you if it's worth the trip.

Shit, it be worth the trip for a bourbon and dinner!

Congratulations Rick. Although you strike me as one of those guys who will never fully retire.

He'll lay under a tree for two days and climb it on the third.

Congratulations on the retirement!

However, I have to add. I'm more interested in hot black chicks than duck hunting paintings.
