According to the Webster family, “Dad enjoyed visiting with Persis about painting ideas, and he was extremely proud of her as she was self-taught. He especially liked the classic composition and perspective of this painting, portraying a Ruffed Grouse camouflaged in its natural habitat. The white pine in the painting is right outside our sun porch. I’m sure Dad sent Persis a photo and suggested a future painting. When it came, it was perfect. He loved it.”
This painting was reproduced as a color print in a limited edition, a copy of which accompanies the lot.
