My favorite artist/painter, who was one of the best at painting English setters has died. Never met the man, but we have suffered a great loss. God be with your family Robert Abbott

I agree Harold!
His style is classic! But if folks would like to do an Internet search on him they need to spell his name Abbett. .

Not to hog the thread, the setters are beautiful, but Mr. Abbott did a great job with Brittanies as well. His paintings put you in the spot. I have three Brit prints and a pointer print, I bought from a friend who was selling some things after a divorce, that I kept because he did it.

Thanks Dean. I had just finished one of his books prior to you posting that pic and thought I saw a resemblance to his photo on the dust jacket.

Sad to learn of his Robert Abbett's passing, I am presently the caretaker of his 8'6", 3/2, 7 wt. Orvis "Light Salmon" cane rod.
