This is a Loon Decoy carved/painted by Parke Goodman of Big Sky Carvers of Boseman, MT. It is signed by the artist on the underneath and also has the Big Sky Carvers Branded Logo but it is not dated. The photos give a good description. It is in perfect condition with the common discoloration of a couple of spots on its back where sap or resin from the pine it was carved from has bled through the paint. It is slightly smaller that actual size, measuring 16.5 inches long, 6.25 inches tall, and 45.5 inches wide. Big Sky Carvers were well known in the late 70’s on for their decorative decoys. They employed a number of talented local artists to hand paint their decoys and many of them, such as Parke Goodman, are highly regarded for their work. We always watch for Big Sky Carver Decoys and are very fond of them. They are no longer made in the USA, often made of resin or from Asia, if even available. This one is a wonderful example of a Common Loon and Big Sky Carver’s early, high quality, American product. If you have a cabin by a lake which Loons frequent, you need this decoy badly. We invite your inspection of the photographs and your offer. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Animals\Birds\Ducks”. The seller is “435jamesp” and is located in this country: US.
