Limited Edition Art Print: Dipping Out / Mallard Duck / Pond & Rim by Barry Barnett

This item is an unframed limited edition art print titled 'Dipping Out / Mallard Duck / Pond & Rim' by artist Barry Barnett. The print depicts a mallard duck in what appears to be a 'dipping' posture, its head and neck submerged or reaching downwards, facing away from the viewer. The artwork is rendered in a vibrant watercolor style, characterized by a striking array of colors including various shades of green and blue on the duck's head and neck, deep red on its collar, and a vibrant, almost psychedelic mix of purples, blues, yellows, and oranges on its body and wings. The background features abstract representations of aquatic foliage or reeds in shades of green and brown. The print exhibits fine art paper as its substrate, with a visible texture or slight creasing, indicating it may have been rolled or stored without complete flatness. The overall condition appears good with no significant tears or discoloration, although exact dimensions are not provided. The print is hand-signed by the artist, 'Barry Barnett', and numbered as part of a limited edition, '127/300', indicating its collectible nature. A copyright notice at the bottom identifies the copyright holder as 'Barry Barnett © 1995', dating the artwork to 1995. The style suggests a modern approach to wildlife art, with an emphasis on expressive color and dynamic composition rather than strict realism. The craftsmanship is evident in the detailed portrayal of the duck's form and the skillful use of watercolor to create texture and depth.
