Artwork Description
"Winter Shelter - Bobwhite" is a masterful 1991 release from David A. Maass that captures the quiet resilience of North American upland game birds. The scene depicts a small covey of Bobwhite Quail seeking refuge amidst a snow-dusted thicket. Maass demonstrates his legendary ability to render texture, from the soft, puffed feathers of the birds huddled against the cold to the brittle, icy sharpness of the surrounding brambles. The cool, muted palette of the winter landscape is punctuated by the warm russet tones of the quail, creating a balanced and serene composition that speaks to the endurance of wildlife in the harshest seasons. Published by Wild Wings, this print is a prized selection for collectors of traditional sporting art.
