RIVER LEGACYBY JOHN A. MORROW Date of Issue - July 4, 2003 Number in Edition - 500 Artist's Proofs - 50 Framed Size - 18x24 Paper - Epson Velvet Printed by HMS Fine Art Giclee Print with pigmented Inks "A man who works with his hands is a laborer A man who works with his hands and mind is a craftsman A man who works with his hands, mind and heart is an artist" UNKNOWN When I was asked to create a poster for the Clayton Decoy Show, my first thought was to do a carver working on a decoy in a shop with Calumet Island in the background. Then I thought it would be more profound if only the tools and artistry were portrayed, for an artist's immortality is his art. I gathered a collection of tools and decoys I had accumulated over the years and set them up in front of a window in my studio. I used a flag from Abraham Lincoln's time with 35 stars to represent that this was the 35th.Annual Decoy Show. To give it an antique look, I used a technique called oil rub which I learned from one of my former students Nick Wright, a free lance illustrator who studied at Ringling School of Art
