"Divinci's Song"

“DaVinci’s Song” is a 4-plate etching that depicts a Cardinal, Robin, Meadowlark, and a Mockingbird in a life size format. This piece is about a poetic connection between art and science; when we hear birds sing, the melodies are like beautiful music for our enjoyment. For our avian friends, it is pretty much a scientific event to attract a mate, protect a territory, warn of predators, etc. This etching is hand-made on 4 large copper plates, each plate using two inks and containing a different songbird. In addition to the Arches rag paper used for the etching, the inks and paints employed to create the etching are of the highest quality. Each etching in the edition requires precise hand-wiping to attain proper tones. Two weeks after the ink dries, another several hours of hand-coloring is required to finish the piece. Because of all the hand work involved, no two pieces are exactly the same. The etching has a 2” border of paper around the image with a beautiful, deckled edge. Image Size: 37” x 12” The edition is nearly sold out. *PRICE IS FOR UNFRAMED ART. FRAMED PRICE LISTED BELOW*
