SaxonPig- Have an art question for you.

edited September 2001 in General Discussion
I recently finished my basement, and have some wall space I would like to fill with some prints. I am looking for hunting scenes, not any "english hunt" type prints that I see so often, but more in the tradition of the Curier&Ives type. Something kind of "Faulkneresque" is what I am looking for. I have friends who are artists, but they look down on that type of art. Being that you are a shooter and art historian, I was hoping you might be able to steer me in the right direction. Any suggestions and/or sources to find such prints would be appreciated.

    Hey Kimber, do you like the Elvis paintings or the Bull fight scenes? I am not far from Mexico and could probably get a few for your den at a decent price.

    Yo Salzo........I know this Italian guy who just got finished painting a ceiling, I think his name is Michaelangelo. He still lives here in NJ, in fact he's been trying to get a carry permit for over two hundred years now, I'll ask him to give you a call.

I thought we were all friends here ...He Dog, Sorry but the wife wont let me buy "art", she says I have my guns ... thats enough.Its hard to belive she has such good taste and still married me!

    You know Lowrider, you are really disgusting, and anyway, I already have a picture of Rosie O'-D on my dart board.NJRetcop- I met that Michael Angelo guy when I was in Italy, and I think his work stinks.

    SaxonPig- I just looked it up. Your wrong!! His last name is actually Bonaparte. Not only is he a fine painter, but an emperor as well. I would think an art historian would know that(LOL).

    I hope for all your sakes' somebody from PETA isn't monitoring this board. Just when they thought cruelty to animals couldn't get any worse somebody had to bring together Rosie O'D and a poor, helpless, fuzzy wuzzy little grizzly.....I don't think I'll sleep easy tonight guys.
