I also have one of his prints that was done for Ducks Unlimited. The book “The Watercolors of Chet Reneson” had two hundred copies that he added a pencil sketch on the subject of your choice.
I have one book with a salt water fly fisherman. I had another done for a friend with a sketch of a pheasant hunter. He was kind enough to add a water tower with the name of the town where I hunted with the friend. I got to talk to him a couple of times. A real gentleman. You made a great choice in your artist. Happy Birthday!

Very cool! I have that book also albeit without the sketch. The print is signed and numbered. Got it at a local antique mall for basically the price of the frame. I'm not a waterfowl hunter but I couldn't walk away.
