Renowned wildlife artist Ned Smith painted hundreds of covers and illustrations for the Pennsylvania Game News and created the magazine's beloved "Gone for the Day" column. Now for the first time, his wildlife paintings, pen-and-ink drawings, and field sketches are collected and presented in a handsome full-color format; many have never before been published. From big-game mammals and predators to songbirds, raptors, and freshwater fish, the animals depicted by Smith are stunningly lifelike and appear in settings and situations created by someone who knows the outdoors. This collection includes Old Orchard Buck, Deep Wooks Drummer, A Little Bit Cautious, Waiting for Dusk, and much more. The art appears here accompanied by journal entries and sketches, as well as background information that describes how Smith worked and what he tried to accomplish with his art.

Still Not Enough,
By
This review is from: Wildlife Art of Ned Smith, The (Hardcover)
This is a great book that sheds some light on the inner thinkings of Ned Smith. There is a modest number of his works reproduced in here, but we need more. As a big fan of his work, I want to see a book that features ALL of his pieces! His art has made the cover of Pennsylvania Game News dozens of times, and each one is a treasure. They really could do a book on just his Game News covers. From a Pennsylvania Wildlife Art standpoint, Ned Smith was and still is the barometer by which all others are judged. His book "Gone for the Day" is a must read if you're a nature enthusiast.
*UPDATE 8/4/06 - apparently someone was listening! They've released a Ned Smith Game News Covers book!
