Description
Country John Deere Art
Please note that all prints offered here are smaller-sizes than the original limited edition.
I created the image at the request of Nebraska Ducks Unlimited (DU). It was distributed at DU banquets in a seven-state region during 1998. Lithograph size: 15 x 21 inches with white borders around the image making the total size larger.
Three lithographs remain with the artist. Limited Edition #1250 prints plus #125 artist proofs, all signed and numbered by the artist. Almost all were sold in 1998. The lithograph printing plates were destroyed, so no additional copies would be made, to keep the edition limited.
Inspiration:
Two local children posed for the painting, with the boy entertaining the pup with a duck call on a string. The town John Deere dealership loaned me the model 4020 pedal tractor. I painted the autumn scenery from memory, as it was near a country lane where my husband and I often went walking. My husband, who had worked as a science teacher, made up the fun title.
At the edge of the yard where it is sunny, the first autumn leaves drift onto the grass. Once the harvest is done, the boy longs to hunting, just like his dad. First he needs to give the new pup some lessons, beginning with, "Don't chew on the duck call."
Special thanks to Allison and Garrett, ages two and four, the sister and brother who posed for the art.
