The Winter Hunter by Paul Calle ~ "My drawings of the Winter Hunter was inspired by some descriptive narrative in Osborne Russell's book, 'Journal of a Trapper'. After completing the pencil drawing, I was fascinated with the possibiltiy of creating an oil painting of the same subject. I became intrigued with the color relationship of th ered wool capote against the white snow, the rough texture of the tree bark contrasting with the snow-covered pine trees and te warm gray feathers of the geese." - Paul Calle
