Roland Clark was an etcher, painter and author, but also a sportsman. His special passion was painting birds in their natural environment. Clark studied in New York and lived there and in Cutchogue on Long Island. In 1938 he created the design for an official stamp series in the U.S. with duck motifs. With Stray Shots in 1931, he published an autobiographical collection of stories and essays. His sporting interests were sailing, fishing and horseback riding.
Both of his 1932 entries were etchings. Setting Out Decoys was 24.9 x 20.2 cm in size (sheet 34.3 x 27.9 cm). Bluebird Weather was published in 1938 together with other similar etchings in a book titled Roland Clark’s Etchings. The bluebird is a bird indigenous to North America whose appearance is considered a good omen.
