The painting shown above titled "Shotzy and Red" by Pat Gamby, was commissioned for the cover art of the Ithaca Gun Company catalog and features a classic pheasant hunt with the company owner, Dave Dlubak's very own hunting dogs.

Artist Pat Gamby lives with her husband, Steve, on the farm they have operated for some twenty two years in Hardin County, Ohio. She started drawing when only four years old and encouraged by teachers amazed at her skill, began painting pictures as a teenager. Even when she was still in high school and without any formal training, she was doing artwork on commission.

She really began to take her talent seriously when she and Steve were struggling to make a go of farming and she discovered that her paintings would sell almost as readily as the milk their dairy farm was producing. Countless pictures of rural life flowed from her brush. At the same time she and Steve were raising a family, so her painting time was limited. But recently, at age 56, with their three children raised and Steve retired from milking cows for less strenuous kinds of farming, she embarked on painting full time in a studio the couple built right on the farm.

Along with paintings done on commission or inspired by her own keen eye for pastoral beauty, she is now licensed by Crossroads Original Designs of Bucyrus, Ohio to do a series of paintings from which the company will sell prints to the public. She likes to use egg tempera in her paints, a difficult medium, but at least the eggs are handy— they come from her own chickens. Her usual subjects are scenes of rural life and animals.

Shown above is another example of the artwork done by Pat. Rick Packer of Upper Sandusky, Ohio, commissioned Pat to do a painting from a photograph of him on one of his hunts. The artwork was done in egg tempura paint on artboard and then attached to an antique buck saw.
