ABOUT OUR COVER

"Setters and Quail" by Eldridge Hardie, celebrates the one constant typical of all Hardie upland paintings. Whether the location is New England, the Midwest, Texas, or as is the case with this watercolor, a southern plantation, it is that dramatically charged interaction between dogs and birds. Call (303) 756-5662 for more information.
