In later years he lived in New Jersey, riding to hounds there. In the early 1970s he moved to Middleburg, Va., where he painted commissioned portraits of dogs, horses, racing, foxhunting, steeplechasing and other
subjects in the field sports. His work has regularly appeared on the Chronicle cover since the early 1970s.
This week’s cover, Gilded Age With Rush Crawford At Blue Ridge Farm, is an oil on canvas dated 1982.
