Tighten your girth for the start of the trail hunting season!

‘The varmint little lady – on a wiry little’oss’
by Charlie Johnson Payne (Snaffles) 1884 – 1967. Everyone knows a "varmint" character in the hunting field!
Charlie Johnson Payne never had any formal training in art nor did he ever exhibit a painting at the Royal Academy. That said, he was blessed with natural artistic ability and a great wry sense of humour and was described by his biographer as one of the leading equestrian artists of the first half of the twentieth century alongside such eminent practitioners as Sir Alfred Munnings. Charlie completed his three years with the colours in May 1905 and was placed on the reserve. There followed several lean years during which he was very hard up and made a living of sorts from his pencil and brush signing his work ‘Snaffles’. In 1907 he started to submit illustrations of hunting characters to the monthly magazine The Bystander and later to The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News magazine. It was in 1914 in the early months of the Great War that he established his career as an artist and his work was in great demand. He also helped produce camouflage for the Home Guard during World War II. After the war he bought a hunter and a top hat and rode out with the Cottesmore Hunt. His illustrations of the hunting field and country sports were and still are the most collected of any British artist.
