I get plum emotional at times when it comes to my grand boys. Last April I was going through the vendors at the Bray's Island Exposition. I had drooled all over so many doubles that they made me leave until I could contain myself, so I was trying to calm down by looking at a Georgia artist's paintings and prints. When my eyes fell upon this one they filled with tears. I told the artist that he couldn't have known he was painting my two grandsons when he painted that picture. It is two young boys, at the perfect ages, to be a scene I have seen so many times on the dove fields with me. Needless to say, it came home with me after I got him to put their names at the bottom, in the border.
Jackson and Lane ......... forever frozen in time. Looking closely at it through the link I provided, it looks for all the world like Jackson is holding a S x S, and Lane a little 20 ga. pump. They actually shoot these guns!
This is a link to a better view of the print than my pitiful photo:
