Jack Cowin’s delicate hand-coloured etchings provide realistic studies of animals and objects associated with hunting and fishing. But it is the painstaking detail and precision of his work that appeal immediately to those who share his appreciation of the outdoors, whether it is embodied in the beauty of the perfect trout or the portrayal of a loyal hunting dog. Cowin has established an international reputation for his work among both art lovers, and lovers of nature.
