"Soft Landing" / "Canadian Warbler" / "Study # One" by Barry Barnett (Limited Edition Print)

This item is a limited edition print titled "Soft Landing" / "Canadian Warbler" / "Study # One" by artist Barry Barnett. The print depicts a vibrantly colored bird, likely a Canadian Warbler, perched on a tree branch, surrounded by lush green foliage. The watercolor-like style of the artwork features a blend of bright blues, yellows, oranges, and greens, with visible brushstrokes contributing to a dynamic and somewhat abstract representation of the bird and its natural environment. The print is numbered 149/400, indicating it is the 149th out of 400 total prints in this limited edition series. The artist's signature, "Barry Barnett," is printed below the title, and there appears to be a hand-signed signature or inscription 'BB' with '97' above it on the right side of the print, suggesting it was created in 1997. The copyright information confirms 'Limited Edition 400 S/N Copyright 1997 Barry Barnett # 9700/400'. The physical condition appears generally good, with no overt visible damage such as tears, significant creases, or water staining on the main image area. However, the edges might show minor wear consistent with handling or storage, as is common with unframed prints. The print is on a white or off-white paper stock, providing a clear background for the colorful artwork. The craftsmanship of the print is good, preserving the delicate and expressive qualities of the original watercolor media, making it a desirable piece for collectors of wildlife art, especially bird art.
