Squirl Collection: Art Prints by Houlgate Davenport

"Danae" (Final version)

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:36:48 +0000

Hand-colored, very limited edition of 75. This print is number 12/75.

"Danae"

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:36:48 +0000

Hand-colored artist's proof, with color notes at the bottom. Single-page form.

"Spring"

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:36:48 +0000

Spring scene, richly hand-colored, and with handwritten title and subtitle. It reads: "Spring: Pale child clad in tender shades, sky promise of the warmth to come." It is a one-of-a-kind print, I believe, and is not numbered. She signed it only "HD," instead of her usual "H. Davenport."

"A Wink is as Good as a Nod..."

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:36:48 +0000

Winking lady, unnumbered artist's proof, single-page form. This print has some "dirt" inside the image, probably from leftover ink on the press.

"Waiting in Line"

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:36:48 +0000

Two deer, drinking from a river, edition of 250, single-page form. This one always makes me think of our "special" doe. (^-^)<3

"A Pair of Hooters"

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:36:48 +0000

Two owls, edition of 250, single-page form. Houlgate would have giggled at the title I chose for this one! And likely have called me her "silly pistachio nut." :)

Hand-tinted ringmaster, unsigned, unnumbered artist's proof, with artist's color notes on the back. Single-page form.

Stately horned owl, edition of 200, single-page form.

"A Couple of Crocus"

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:36:48 +0000

Two crocus blooms, edition of 300, in 6 x 9 card form, with artist's notes inside. I have another print of this image, in single-page form, which states it is from an edition of 350. It looks newer, so was probably the initial print of a reissue of this image.

"Bird and Her Eggs"

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:36:48 +0000

As I am not an ornithologist or even casual birdwatcher, I don't know what kind of bird this is. If you know, please comment or send me a message, and educate me! This print is a 6 x 9 inch card, with no markings as to how many were printed. I have a second print of this image, single-page printing, marked as edition of 300.

"Ducks on the Lake"

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:36:48 +0000
