I
will be offering an important collection of western and sporting art including paintings by such noted artists
as Eric Forlee, Harry Antis, Will Bullas, A. Dzigurski, Terry Frost, Edward Borein and Wayne Baize. In addition, the
collection includes bronze sculpture by noted artists such as Rick Taylor, J. Shirly Bothum, Ron Carlson, Keith Christie,
Geoffrey Smith and Ace Powell.
Welcome to our website
dedicated to vintage waterfowl decoys of the
Pacific Coast, Westcoast-Decoys.com.
Among
decoy collectors the west coast is known for producing such talented decoy makers as Richard "Fresh Air
Dick" Janson, Horace "Hie" Crandall, Charles Bergman, William McLellan, Ed Snyder, Charles Pice, Captain Olsen,
Amiel Garibaldi and Jerry Mastin. Along with the great cast of well known makers are numerous other less well
known, or even unknown, artisans.
Our goal is to offer some high quality pacific coast decoys
by the well known makers and introduce collectors nation-wide to some quality decoys by the less well known California, Oregon,
Washington and British Columbia makers.
In addition, there will surely be some stray migrants from
far off regions. Over time, we hope to be able to supply our factory collecting friends with the more easily found
west coast species. For example, the mason decoy company seems to have filled far more orders out west for
green-winged teal, pintail and wigeon.
The navigation bar at the top of the page will allow you to
search for decoys available by region. If you see anything that interests you, or just want to chat about decoys, drop
me an e-mail or give me a call. Be sure to check back often as I'll be frequently adding some interesting items.
I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd pass this site on to your decoy and folk art collecting friends.
Should
you have a need for my appraisal services (whether a single decoy or entire collection), please don't hesitate to ask.
In addition, I handle
all aspects of representation including collection management, marketing and auction representation.
Thanks for visiting and happy decoy hunting!
