Don Balke is one of America's finest Wildlife and Nature artists. Still alive and doing well in his 80's, he no longer paints and therefore the value of his work has taken off in the last few years.
This print is from the early '70s and I am the original purchaser. It was shown in my office for a few years and then stored in a humidity controlled room. Professionally framed, this large, wooden framed piece of 36" X 32" makes a magnificent statement wherever it hangs. I have had years of enjoyment looking at it and it's now time for someone else to enjoy it. Expand the pictures and look at the detail. Also note the tasteful double matting and material border. Today, framing it would cost almost as much as I'm asking for the picture already done. This print is long since sold out and rarely comes up for sale, no less framed too.
Will appreciate better than a bank savings account and you can enjoy looking at it in the meantime.
I am not an art dealer. Price was arrived at by talking to multiple dealers who specialize in wildlife art.
They feel it's worth well over $400.
I've priced it to sell.
Somebody is going to get a beautiful picture at a very reasonable price.
As with anything, I'm always open to a REASONABLE Offer.
We will have to discuss how you want this shipped and that will be at your cost. My best experience has been with UPS, depending where you live. Every effort to get this to you in the same condition it leaves here.
I am also willing to split the actual cost of an art gallery to pack it, as an incentive to you. Recent quote for this was about $20 to $40, depending on where you live.
Any questions, please contact me.
I also have For Sale, a variety of Federal, First of State and Continuation of States Duck Stamps Prints, many with Artist Signed Stamps.
Also have the 1st year Bass Research Foundation Prints and
the 1st three years of Pennsylvania Conservation Stamp Prints; 1981 1st yr., 1982, 1983, all with #s MATCHING.
