Original 11 color limited edition (of 25) giclee of original painting in Pastel, of Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend, TX signed and identified as the only one of one authorized artist's proof personally by the artist on the print.
An artist's proof btw is a print made by the artist, typically before any limited edition production is authorized and offered for sale, to insure the color and quality of the print meets the artist's standards and approval. As such some artist proofs, are slightly different as they become the print that guides the artist in making any final adjustments to the source photographs or printing calibrations for the full edition. The differences may be so subtle that only the artists eye would discern any variation, but because of those possible variations from the authorized edition, each artist's proof is a unique, one of a kind print unlike any other distinquished in one specific way. Often Dan's artist's proofs, for example are printed slightly larger or with greater margins than the official limited edition set to test the print quality when pushed beyond the photograph's normal resolution through enlargement or to verify the printed area is truly square in all corners. The proofs made by the artist are the final check to insure the authorized edition meets the artist's standards so any particular artist proof may be slightly different than the following edition prints which will have had any undesired color shifts or other 'imperfections' corrected. If a single artist's proof is all that is produced, it's an indication that the proof met the standards anticipated by the artist with only insignificant variation to the final edition enough that the edition is authorized and ready for final printing. This particular proof varies from the edition having 1/2" margins on all sides on a paper size the same as the edition which will show no margins printed to bleed off the edge of the paper.
