284 Return to Chincoteague

October 17, 2002, award-winning artist Ron Louque was announced the winner of the 2002 Federal Duck Stamp Contest. Louque (pronounced “luke”) has been awarded 27 state conservation stamp awards, and published in many national publications (including Ducks Unlimited, Audubon, and National Wildlife).

His magnificent image of two majestic Snow Geese soaring over the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge will appear on the 2003-04 Federal Waterfowl Hunting Stamp, a favorite of naturalists, hunters and collectors. Proceeds from the stamp are used for wetlands and waterfowl preservation.

Louque’s scientific attention to detail is phenomenal, but the spirit of his work is drawn from the environment itself. He states, “Through first-hand experience the artist receives the inspiration for the painting as he is impressed by the beauty and power of nature."

Dimensions - octagonal - 12" wide.
