Appraisal Report
This is an original watercolor painting by David Drinkard, a wildlife artist known for his detailed depictions of birds. The painting features two mourning doves perched on bare tree branches, rendered with realistic detail. The composition is balanced, and the artist's skill in capturing the birds' likeness and the texture of the branches is evident. Drinkard's works are collected, particularly by those interested in wildlife art. The value is derived from previous sales of similar original watercolors by the artist, considering the size, subject matter, and condition.
