Thats awesome bud :) was it expensive

 

No I was given two but my first wife took one when we split up, (she has since sold it), and I kept the other, think I got the best of it though.

Scott had a prestigious art education though. Kenzie had an eye and a talent, if a little naïve, and has you say, heavily influenced by Scott, but to be expected, but aren't a lot of wildfowl artists, Julian Novorol?

 

 

Do you rate him as an "artist"? I know he learnt when he worked for Peter Scott but the two don't compare as pure artists to myself. Art like beauty is often in the eye of the beholder though

Yes and you can certainly tell those who have shot as the depiction of flight is so much better. There is a quite well known artist in one of the clubs I shoot, so it is no thing of the past.

Kenzie and Scott were polar opposites as far as Education and social class, though their painting likewise. I wonder if we are talking pure talent or training?

I have scribbled and daubed a bit in the past, you need to have a degree of innate talent simply to get what you see and visualise to look anyway half decent. Kenzie had talent and with the correct training would have been a lot better and he was reasonable anyway. Like most, I only know from what I have read and seen about the man, but I don't think Scott gave him too much in the way of an artist's education.

Here's a link to a Bit on Peter Scott that I recorded on Vhs yrs ago and then copied to Cd and uploaded. A bit on Wildfowling and his Art. I Uploaded 3 clips entitled peter scott 1,2 and 3 if anyone is interested. No mention of Kenzie but sort of a follow on from the thread.
