Lot Description

Chet Reneson (b. 1934)
Early Visit,1974
signed and dated "Reneson 74" lower right
watercolor, 16 1/2 by 27in.

The Webster family recounts, “This original was one of the early Wild Wings prints published. I really liked this painting because of the nasty weather it depicted. Mom didn’t. I don’t believe it made it into our house.”

“I remember many hunts with Dad late in the season on Lake Pepin. We dug a pit on a sandy point that jutted out into the lake and set up what seemed like an endless amount of decoys on the lee side. Always there were some divers moving before shooting time and I know this painting took Dad right back to some of the best mornings.”

This painting was reproduced as a signed and numbered print in an edition of 600, a copy of which accompanies the lot.

Provenance: William B. Webster III Collection

Literature: The Crossroads of Sport, Inc. Catalog, New York, NY, 1977-78, p. 59, print illustrated.
