Herb Booth
1942 – 2014

BORN IN
Texas
KNOWN FOR
Wildlife and sporting painting
Herb Booth has wedded his artistic skills with decades of experience as a naturalist and hunter and has become a painter of sporting and wildlife scenes in Texas. Booth has designed eleven conservation stamp prints. He is best known for his watercolor paintings, but he also does original graphics.
Author Michael McIntosh notes: “It is a peculiar fact of sporting art it cannot be successfully faked. A sporting scene, if it aspires to any degree of acceptance, must not only reflect genuine experience on the artist’s part but must also evoke the memory and feeling of similar experience in the viewer.” In Booth’s art the sense of authenticity and depth of personal experience are instantly recognizable. For the past twenty years he has specialized in personalized sporting scenes including scenes of families hunting or fishing together.
