ABOUT OUR COVER

FRONT RANGE BLUES Original Watercolor by Eldridge Hardie

Eldridge Hardie's art is well-known to upland sportsmen. He was recently honored with a one-man exhibit of his sporting art at The National Bird Dog Museum, in Grand Junction, Tennessee, home of Ames Plantation, the site of the National Field Trial Championship. Blue Grouse country is not far from his Denver studio. He says it surely helps to be acclimated to the Mile High City, which is the lower elevation of this Western grouse's range.

Front Range Blues is from a private collection and has not been published as a print. For information about Mr. Hardie's original art or limited editions call (303) 756-5662.
