Sea Ducks, 1986
signed "Reneson" lower left
watercolor, 17 3/4 by 28 in.Chet Reneson graduated from the University of Hartford, Connecticut, in 1960. Under the watchful eye of his teacher Henrik Mayer, Reneson learned the value of simplicity: meaning light, dark, and strong. For the past fifty years, Reneson?s painting has remained true to his early mentor?s teaching, encompassing many subjects including wildlife, duck hunting, upland bird shooting, big game fishing, fly-fishing, and Bahamian scenes.
Reneson's work has graced the covers of Sporting Classics, Gray's Sporting Journal, and Sports Afield among others. He is a past member of the Connecticut Watercolor Association and the Old Lyme Art Association. He was the Ducks Unlimited Artist of the Year in 1982 and the Atlantic Salmon Federation Artist of the Year in 1982 and 2001.
Reneson lives in Lyme, Connecticut, and is also a decoy carver and hunter. This painting appeared on the cover of the Winter 1986 issue of Gray's Sporting Journal.
Provenance: Private Collection, Virginia, purchased from Gray's Sporting Journal in 1986
Literature: Gray's Sporting Journal, Vol. 11, Winter 1986, cover, illustrated.
