Details:

Roy Mason was a self-taught artist from Gilbert Mills, New York. As well as hunting and fishing scenes, he also did illustrations for magazines including Collier’s, True, and Reader’s Digest. Mason had firsthand knowledge of wildfowl, shooting and fishing for sport provided themes for most of his paintings. His use of the medium of watercolor enabled him to create landscapes and wildlife paintings that reached a large audience outside of the sporting community. While maintaining a studio in Batavia, New York, he began spending long periods in southern California in the 1930's. He began to exhibit his paintings with local and national art associations and to produce artwork for nationally distributed periodicals.
