"Jumping Blacks and Woodies" - SOLD

$1,500.00

I've been on hundreds of "Jump Shoots" over the many years. Usually as the paddler. It is a unique way to hunt waterfowl and is a very different experience than sitting in a blind and waiting for them to come to you. "Jumping Blacks and Woodies" is an original oil painting on board and is a depiction of what one might see and feel on a Virginia jump shoot. A loud quack from a startled hen followed by the rush of powerful wings as they break in all directions. It takes a cool demeanor to calmly pick out a target, press the gun to your shoulder and squeeze, all in about 2.5 seconds! After that, they're gone! This piece is 12 x 16, framed in an antique gold, and is in a private collection.
