Ptarmigan Gun - Sporting Art


The Works of Adriano Manocchia In his fine art paintings, there is no doubt that Adriano Manocchia is fascinated by water. His landscapes often become waterscapes, their focal point, an ever-changing fluid mass portraying many different moods and nuances. Where water is not the subject, light becomes the drama. The saturated colors of fiery sunsets, the delicate tones of soft sunrises, the powerful shadows of impending storms transform an otherwise tame landscape into a striking work of art. Learn more about Adriano and these paintings here. Stop by the Ptarmigan store today to view and purchase these wonderfully exquisite hunting inspired paintings.
