Presenting the Rugby Pastel Paintings

of

Ric "ZIPPY" Hall and Ron Schmitt.

Collaborative artwork.


ALL of the pastel paintings are the product of two minds and two hands...

Those minds and hands are the minds and hands of Ric "ZIPPY" Hall and those of Ron Schmitt. We paint these pictures together while standing side by side.

Rugby Sculptures


In addition to these two dimensional works I have done, here are a couple of rugby theme sculptures I did as well.

These sculptures are also available... email me for the particulars.

This one, a marble relief I call "In To The Opposition" it is 5/8" thick and 3½" tall and 8" long.

I have just learned how to cast more of these and will have the cast versions on the web site soon.

The other sculpture is in white oak and is about 14" X 16" X 18"... I have titled it, "Plunge".

Christmas Cards

Whether it's the holiday season or not folk find these Rugby Christmas cards enjoyable.





I started this collection as the Christmas card given from my rugby club (the Valley Kangaroos of Seattle Washington) to the members and supporters.

Over the years there were several that were specific to my club side.

After awhile the Santa VS Snowmen theme started taking front stage year in and year out.

There are now 2 set of 12 unique rugby themed Christmas Cards.

Buy either ot both at
