Default Fred Kimble Art Galary

Fred Kimble was one of the greatest long distance duck shooters this country ever produced and he created the first composition target. His gun of choice was the Parker and it is documented that he owned at least 5. In later life, he was also a pretty good, self taught Artist. Here are 6 of his oil paintings that I have acquired.

Very cool. #3 and #4 are particularly sweet IMHO!

Lake Tahoe and Duck Hunting 50 Years Ago are my two favorites. I often wonder if the gentleman in white shirt sleeves and vest who's rowing the boat and standing in the tent is ol' Fred.

Those are nice paintings. I like the duck hunting one myself as well. Looks like it was painted based on an actual event from a memory of his hunts. I have an old canvas wall tent stored up in my dads old barn loft. Hasnt been used in 30 years. Seeing that picture makes me want to pull it down and set it up.
