Chet Reneson (b. 1934) Coming Ashore
signed "Reneson" lower right
watercolor, 18 by 28 in.
Noted artist Robert K. Abbett writes, “The art of Chet Reneson is successful for several reasons, only one of them being its grounding in the realities of imagery, of nature, and of personal experience. His paintings are right because he knows the games - hunting and fishing - and specifically because he practices them personally…In sporting art there is little that can substitute for being there - it is the lifeblood of the artist’s confidence and honesty.”
The Atlantic Salmon Federation published a limited edition print of this work in 1983.
Provenance: Donal C. O'Brien, Jr. Collection
Literature: Robert K. Abbett, "The Watercolors of Chet Reneson," Camden, ME, 2001, pp. 9, 11.
