About the Item

"Out on a Limb" is an original ink drawing with a second side, titled "Tortoise & the Hare," both by David Barnett. It is signed on the lower right verso. On the front side, a bearded lady stands on a tree branch in front of a sidewalk and a children's mobile. The back features a sketch of the tortoise and hare fable, a chair, a surreal creature and an even more surreal face. The work is framed so that either side can be viewed. Art size: 12" x 9" Frame size: 15 3/8" x 12 1/8" David Barnett, an artist, collector, appraiser and gallerist has been passionate about art from the early age of five.

In 1985 David moved his gallery from Wisconsin Avenue into the Old Button Mansion on State Street and has been active ever since.

David was born and raised in Wisconsin. He has been painting in watercolors, acrylics, oil pastels as well as fine art photography. David has more than 10 different series he has developed over the years.

    By David Barnett
