George Warin

George Warin (1830 - 1905) was active/lived in Ontario / Canada.  George Warin is known for Decoy carving with detailed feather painting.

George Warin (1830 - 1905)

George Warin and his brother, James, emigrated from England to Canada and combined their skills to start a boat building company, "G. & J. Warin, Boat Builders" (Haid 16). Both George and James frequented the marshes of the St. Clair Flats [Ontario] to hunt. Together with David Ward, another carver from Toronto, George co-founded the St. Clair Flats Shooting Club in 1874 (Engers 283).

The decoys the brothers carved for these clubs were either hollow or solid, but all had small low-set tails. The Warins did not carve details on their decoy bills, but the brothers did initiate a low-head style associated with the Flats. Warin decoys are better known for the elegant painting patterns.

The feather painting of Warin pintails and Canadian geese have no rivals. Some decoys are identified with various stamps bearing the Warin name, but the scaup, canvasbacks, redheads and teal are easily identified by their high sterns and long, slim bills   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 2635 characters.]  Artist bio
