Phenomenal artist. I adore "The Big Moment" that hung in my GrandFather's Gun Cabinet for 50 years, until I recently took out and framed. In his work, he captured the passion I have for the outdoors in all of his peices, especially the Remington works.
Another Pratt Institute grad, I was fortunate enough to meet him at their 50th Anniversary reunion in 1990. I treasure a sketch he made of fellow classmate, Walter McFarlane who became one of America's great "unknowns".
Was nice to see an exhibition of his art a few years ago in Tucson, AZ. Amazing work. And an early influence on my wildlife painting of years ago. He and Bateman were my favorite wildlife artists, yet they had very different styles!
Do you mean the mirror? I believe he's checking the composition etc in a mirror - helps you to see the image with a fresh pair of eyes and all the mistakes jump out at you - very useful tool.
Amazing to see the errors that you don't normally pick up in that way. I myself take a pic with my phone and edit flip it to try and catch possible perspective mistakes
