I prefer Bob Abbett, best dog painter in the world. Don't care for guys who over-detail stuff, and try to paint every feather and hair. It ain't a photograph, and shouldn't look like one.

I love Glenn Gore's pen and inks. Have a few and wish I had more. He lived about 30 miles away and his kids grew up with my cousins, so he was drawing things that I saw when I went hunting, camping, fishing, scouting, whatever.

My walls hold a number of Frost prints and drawings. My favorite, by far.

I'm with Shotgunjones. Robert Abbett is a favorite of mine also. His paintings either remind you of a scene that you have been in or one you want to be in before you leave this earth. Eldridge Hardie is another that evokes the same feelings for me.

I guess by volume it would be the various Ned Ewell prints I won at the Skeet shoots at Loch Raven back in the late 70s and early 80s. Looks better then that silver turning black from Col. King's shoots at Andrews AFB!!!
The only original I ever bought at The Waterfowl Festeval is a watercolor by Wm Redd Taylor of Virginia. Even though the artist is from Virginia the watercolor very much reminds me of an area I've hunted in the Gloyd Seeps north of Moses Lake, Washington.

I like the reprints of W. H. Foster's illustrations which appear from time to time in DGJ.

Jack -
Foster's work is very evocative. I own a copy of his NEW ENGLAND GROUSE SHOOTING, a beautiful book with an abundance of his etchings -- they are superb. I expect you may already be familiar with this book, first published in 1943, but if by chance you are not, by all means find a copy. Both the artwork and the text are classic.

There are a couple considerations about prints and value which haven't been mentioned. Lithographs, drypoints, etchings, engravings of good work---depends on your eye and taste, of course---have collector value but photographic reproductions are dime a dozen.
