This collection of Ken Zylla Ducks Unlimited Framed and Signed Prints with Stamps consists of the follow four prints:
(1) “Lifting to the North” by Ken Zylla Ducks Unlimited Framed and Signed Print with Stamp
Completed in 1987, this commemorative print features a flock of Canadian geese taking flight from the banks of a water crossing. Muted hues of blues, yellows, and oranges give the print the feeling of a cold morning, complete with looming clouds and a grey sea. This also has an additional goose (neck and head) drawing on the lower left side of the print, a signature from the artist, and the stamp the print is commemorating. Print: 12 x 16 5/8 inches Frame: 20 3/8 x 25 1/8 inches. Ready to hang.
(2) “Coming Together” by Ken Zylla Ducks Unlimited Framed and Signed Print with Stamp
Completed in 1985, this commemorative print features several turkeys standing alongside a snowy riverbank. The artist, Ken Zylla, was a native Minnesotan who explored scenes he saw throughout his life. His attention to detail makes his artwork come to life. For example, the front most turkey in this piece is standing in a puddle, perhaps an unnecessary detail provides additional information about the scene. In the background, the colors become faded and muted to give the impression of fog and the illusion of a 3-D effect. Truly a marvel. This print also features a pencil drawing of a feather, a signature from the artist, and the stamp the print is commemorating. Print: 10 3/4 x 16 inches Frame: 20 3/8 x 25 1/8 inches. Ready to hang.
(3) “Nary a Care” by Ken Zylla Ducks Unlimited Framed and Signed Print with Stamp
Completed in 1986, this commemorative print features a few vibrantly feathered pheasants passing time along a dirt road. Step into the landscape of this print, as the shadows, ripples in the water, and fading trees in the background add layers of realism to this piece. This print also features a pencil drawing of a pheasant, a signature from the artist, and the stamp the print is commemorating. Print: 10 3/4 x 16 inches Frame: 20 3/8 x 25 1/8 inches. Ready to hang.
(4) “A Likely Refuge” by Ken Zylla Ducks Unlimited Framed and Signed Print with Stamp
Completed in 1984, this commemorative print features a flock of mallards descending into a riverbank, perhaps to rest and recharge after a long flight. The foreground is dark, as the sun glows from the horizon, rising to start a new day. Zylla’s attention to detail once more sparks life into the piece, as a slight fog encompasses some trees in the distance, making the piece seem larger. Additionally, many trees are barren, hinting to the viewer the scene might take place in late fall or early winter. All those pieces combined with the colors of the foreground and background indicate a very chilly morning for these ducks,but they do not seem to mind to much. This print also features a pencil drawing of a pheasant, a signature from the artist, and the stamp the print is commemorating. Print: 10 3/4 x 16 inches Frame: 20 3/8 x 25 1/8 inches. Ready to hang.
