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.

I found them all through the internet. A couple on ebay. One was through someone who found me on the internet. I'm sort of the foremost authority on Fred Kimble art. That of course is a very small pond. More like a puddle.

It's worth noting that the painting of the San Francisco Bay predates the Golden Gate Bridge.
