Crested Caracara Art Print, Signed Limited Edition Watercolor

A northern crested caracara in profile, the long-legged falcon of Texas and Mexico with the black cap, the bare orange face and the pale hooked beak. The cap is painted in indigo and violet, the face in orange and magenta, the barred chest in grey over bare paper, and there are magenta and turquoise splashes with drips below. It is a portrait format and goes mostly to the American South.

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, so the texture of the original is kept
• Framed canvas options in a black wooden frame, ready to hang
• 15 sizes, from 8 x 10 in (20 x 26 cm) to 40 x 55 in (100 x 140 cm)

The frame is not included unless the option says Framed Canvas. Not sure which size fits your wall? Write to me with the width of the furniture under it and I will suggest one. Reproduction rights remain with the artist.
