About the Item
The Saturday Evening Post cover, June 9, 1951
'John Clymer, while migrating through Wyoming in a motorcar, was amazed at the variety of birds that go there summers to keep house. He saw pelicans, whose winter address is Florida- though he doesn;t mean to suggest that they fitted into the birdhouses he painted. He observed sealess sea gulls, and was told to watch for spectacular blue herons, but none of these wanted to pose. When we consoled, "Well, you can see herons in your own back yard," he remonstrated, "Look, you're phoning Westport, Connecticut- didn't you know?" So, making like an ornithologist, we explained that blue herons have been noted spending summer vacations in Connecticut's tidal inlets, gaping at commuters in the trains. Clymer ought to get around more.' (The Saturday Evening Post, Page 3)

View AllSouth for the Winter, Saturday Evening Post Cover
By John Ford Clymer
Located in Fort Washington, PA
Cover of The Saturday Evening Post, October 26, 1957 showing ducks in autumn flying south for the winter
The Post described, "When Jack Frost whistles down the breezeways, right-minded birds take off toward the balmy Southland. Some human beings are depressed because they haven't wings to do likewise, yet, all told, it's probably nicer to be a man than, say, a mallard duck. This is a migratory flyway in the lakelands of Alberta, favored by birds of that feather which like to swipe their meals from grainfields and rest their weary bones on soft, or even hard, water. Down the Mississippi Valley this sky traffic will v-wint its way, and the smarter ducks that go clear to the Gulf Coast can take a gander at the New Orleans Mardi Gras...

Medium: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 34.00" x 27.00"
Signature: Signed Lower Left
Cover for The Saturday Evening Post Magazine, May 31, 1952.
Clymer's coverscape takes you to Massachusetts' tidelands where the frost is on the pumpkin and the red and gold areon the trees. Gloucester harbor and the inlets roundabout-- for three centuries this haven has been the homeport of renowned and valiant fisherman. They were the Captains Courageous of Rudyard Kipling, the hero’s of Longfellow's The Wreck of the Hesperus and of James B. Connolly's tales of the sea.
John Ford Clymer's success as an artist can be traced to his boyhood in the Kittitas Valley located in the central regions of Washington state. It was there that he developed an enthusiasm for the world around him and an abiding respect for historical accuracy. Over the years John Clymer received numerous awards and honors including the revered Prix de West in 1976, from the national Academy of Western Art. Other great achievements included both gold and silver metals for his oils and charcoal drawings from the Cowboy Artists of America, "Western Artist of the Year" from the National Wildlife Art Collectors Society, and both John and Doris were honored at the Ellensburg National Art Show and Auction for their contributions to western heritage. John's highest honor came in 1988 when he was awarded the prestigious Rungius Medal from the Wildlife of American West Art...
