1971 DAN BROWN GREEN WING HAND CARVED DUCK DECOY
1971 Dan Brown Green Wing hand carved & painted wooden duck decoy signed. Dan Brown did not start carving decoys until he was in his early thirties. Born in 1930, he worked as a salesman for a dairy company and a semi-professional baseball player prior to becoming a bird carver. Brown met the Ward brothers in the 1950s while playing baseball in Crisfield. He had always been artistically inclined and the Ward Brothers brought out these artistic abilities. During visits to the Wards’ workshop, Brown was taught the art of decoy carving. Over the years, they willingly critiqued bird carvings he brought to them. The influence of the Wards ultimately led him to decorative bird carving and his mastery of the art form.
