  DON BALKE (B. 1933) "OWL AND GROSBEAK" W/CDon Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Owl and Grosbeak" Signed lower left. Original Watercolor painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 25c Owl and 25c Grosbeak Booklet Pair issue of May 28, 1988. Deep in America's forests, and high in her treetops, there is a world of wildlife -- birds with splendid songs, rich coloring and fascinating habits. They add greatly to America's riches and bring light to her natural beauty. Precious among them are the saw-whet owl and the rose-breasted grosbeak. The saw-whet owl is a tiny bird with nocturnal ways, with a call that sounds like a saw, and a mellow whistle to use at mating time. The rose-breasted grosbeak is a finch whose song brings joy to the heart. With a streak of rosy color to match his happy melody, this lovely bird is seen in the spring as he helps his mate build a nest. Image Size: 13 x 10.75 in. Overall Size: 22 x 19.75 in. Unframed.
