(But Mainly Birds)

To order any of these prints, e mail me at robert.abel@the-spa.com or write to Robert Abel, 27 Stockwell Rd., Hadley, MA 01035.

Night Landing

The image is 13 x 17 on 15 x 22 stock, edition of 14. $30.

Oystercatchers at Nauset

10x 16 image on 12 x 18 stock, edition of 20. $35. I also have 8 with a plain gray (foggy?) background on 14 x 19 stock. $25.

Blackbirds

Image is 11 x 15 on 15 x 22 stock, 9 colors, edition of 17. $25. I have a little blackbird card as well, with matching envelope, $2 each, or 12 for $29. This one I call "Showoff."

Atlantic Whiteside Dolphins with Terns

12 x 16 image on 18 x 24 paper; edition of 20. Prettier than the bottlenose dolphins, I think, and more mysterious. $75.

A Leap

The image is just 11 x 16 on 18 x 24 paper. I had in mind a bigger version of this--see "Whale Window" following. This one: $30. Edition of 20.

The Leap

A single black and white right whale on 11 x 17 paper. With chop. $20. Edition of 10.

A Whale Window

I cut the mats for a large print of a right whale breaching, but then discovered a) I had no paper big enough to print on, b) I would have to build a screen larger than any one I now use, and c) I don't have the studio space to even clean such a screen. So I put the mats together inside two pieces of plexiglass and framed them. This is the result. It needs to be backlighted, as in a window. Approx. 24 x 36. $200.

Fox in the Dunes

12 x 15 on 18 x 24 paper. Edition of 15, five colors. Just a few left. $75. I never expected him to come out looking so fierce!

A Great Blue Heron

The image is 23 x 26 on various sizes of paper, the best being 30 x 42, which can be trimmed (one only, $150); 8 on excellent quality paper ($120); 4 on good quality book paper ($90); and 6 on 25 x 30 china finish, antique paper which I found at a barn sale, and which I have reinforced by gluing them to a good quality barrier paper ($75). This is the biggest image I have ever essayed.

Mr. Pheasant

Image is 17 x 13 mainly on 18 x 24 paper, with 5 on 19 x 25 paper, and three on poster stock. Edition of 20. $50. (2005)

Beautiful Bluejay with a Rude Bluejay 'Tude

This is one of my earliest prints. Five colors, 10 x 12 image on 14 x 17 paper. Edition of 20, but just a few left. $35.

Crow

Just a big bum of a crow. Approximately 14 x 16 on 18 x 24 paper. Edition of 24. Red chop mark. $20.

Eagles Over Hadley

Eagles Over Hadley (2)

2000-2001. 17 x 22. $60. Edition of 15. These are the same basic print, but I started to add some pink into the sky about halfway through the run, so the sky in the early numbers is bright blue but becomes increasingly pink as the run progresses.

Great Gannet

16 x 12. 5 image on 15 x 20 paper, edition of 15. $50.

Marsh Hawk

Another early print--made before the name of this bird was officially changed to "Northern Harrier." A few of these are without the red underwing. I have just a few left. Five colors. $50. I intended this as a companion to "Fox in the Dunes," same pallete, same size.

Barred Owl at the Quabbin

2002. 12 x 15 on 15 x 22 paper, 12 colors, edition of 17. $50. There is some variation on background water colors in the upper left of the image. "The Quabbin," for those not from this region of central Massachusetts, refers to The Quabbin Reservoir, which is surrounded by extensive woodlands.

The Moon in the Owl's Eye

2002. Four colors. 9 x 11 on 11 x 14 paper. Edition of 17. $20.

Wilson's Petrels

16 x 12 image on 15 x 20 paper. Edition of 20. $40.

Dance of the White-Crowned Sparrows

Another early print. I wish I had known more about paper then. Approx. 14 x 17 on 18 x 24 paper. Edition of 20, but just a few left. $40.

Eagle Falls Like Snow Falls Like Feathers

Image is 12 x 18 on 18 x 24 Paper. Black, white, grey. $50. This could be a companion pipece to the following print--both snow scenes with the same pallete.

April Fools

Same size as above. $50. Buy both prints for $75.

Spring Rivals

Another early print. Edition of 15, 6 left. Approx. 12. 5 x 14 on 14 x 17 paper. $35.

Fat Fluttering Bluebird

A decorative kite, 18 x 24, with blue ribbon tail. 2006. Alas, it won't fly--my engineering skills are lacking! Edition of 20. $15.  

Millenium Dragons

Created for 2000, they are still ripping aound my basement. On 18 x 24 paper. $20.
