e are pleased for you to view our electronic exhibition catalog
British Art: Paintings of Livestock, the Turf and the Field. Our inaugural effort in this medium was Blood Will Tell: Bird Dog Paintings by J.M. Tracy, published in the fall of 2017 (View Catalog). We have decided to try the format again now and invite your comments about this presentation. I am proud to announce that my daughter, Hannah Reuter Rothrock, has joined Red Fox Fine Art as a principal in the firm. With Hannah on board as a resource we have been able to expand our scope in many ways, including participation in the prestigious Winter Show in New York, a highlight of my career and an important beginning for hers. Without Hannah’s urging, this Exhibition Catalog British Art: Paintings of Livestock, the Turf and the Field may not have been possible. Please contact either of us with questions or comments. Thank you and enjoy,
