Old River Memory (Print by J.D. Blaine)

This item is a framed limited edition print titled 'Old River Memory' by the artist J.D. Blaine. The artwork depicts a serene swamp or bayou scene, likely in an autumn or early spring setting, given the muted yellow and brown tones of the foliage on the background trees. A prominent feature is a group of mallard ducks in various stages of flight across the watery landscape. The composition includes tall, slender trees with bare branches, characteristic of cypress trees, with their signature 'knees' or pneumatophores visible protruding from the water. The water itself is a murky green-brown, reflecting the muted sky and trees. The print is presented within a frame, likely made of wood, with a light brown or tan matte surrounding the artwork. The artist's signature, 'J.D. Blaine', is clearly visible in the lower right corner, consistent with how artists typically sign their work. Below the signature, there appears to be a numerical indication, '433/950', suggesting it is the 433rd print out of a limited edition of 950 copies. On the lower left, there is a handwritten signature that could be an additional artist's signature or an authentication mark. The print is in good visible condition, with no obvious signs of damage, fading, or wear to the print itself. The frame also appears to be in good condition. The style is realistic wildlife art, focusing on natural beauty and movement. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, typical of fine art prints.
