Bull Moose Art Print, Signed Limited Edition Watercolor

A bull moose grows and drops a set of antlers every year. By autumn they can span almost two metres, and he carries them through the forest without touching a branch. I painted this one in the colours of a northern September: the antlers in pale ochre, the coat in deep umber, and a background that is mostly water so the animal stands alone.

Why it is a limited edition

Each print is made in an edition of 150, and I sign and number every copy in pencil under the image. The edition is small so that every copy can be made properly: the file is scanned from the painting itself, printed on museum-quality cotton paper with archival pigment inks, compared with the original in daylight and corrected until the colours match, and only then signed. When the last copy is sold, the edition closes for good.

Paper, inks and sizes

• Archival pigment inks on acid-free, museum-quality watercolor paper
• Framed canvas options in a black wooden frame, ready to hang
• 15 sizes, from 20 x 26 cm to 100 x 140 cm
• Shipped flat or rolled in a hard tube, with tracking

Frame not included unless the option says Framed Canvas. This is a print for a cabin, a hunting lodge that prefers watercolor to taxidermy, or a boy’s room with a map on the other wall.
