That’s a great painting Craig - you’re a lucky guy to have found it!
Fred Everett was a prolific illustrator and illustrated some of our favorite books abd magazine articles. He wrote and illustrated two of his own books, “Fun With Game Birds” and “Fun With Trout”. He was planning a third book, Fun With Bird Dogs” but suffered an untimely death before he could complete it.
One of our PGCA members, Legh Higgins, recently bought a wonderful original painting by Everett of a ruffed grouse in “full strut” which was used as an illustration in “Fun With Game Birds”.
