Lot 405
Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Mallard Duck" Signed lower right. 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. 13c Mallard stamp issued June 10, 1978. Best known of all ducks, the Mallard is the most abundant and heavily hunted waterfowl in North America and has provided an important source of food for thousands of years. The Mallard remains on Canada's northern lakes until the stiff, freezing winds of November arrive. Mallards can live with cold, but they must have open water. Hunters await these colorful birds on the marshes of Manitoba and along the lakeshores of Minnesota. Wintering Mallards concentrate most heavily along the Gulf Coast and in the Mississippi Valley. By then the males have shed their drab summer garb, and their stunning new dress of rich chestnut and green contrasts sharply with the mottled brown dress of females. At the thaw, the Mallards push north with steady wingbeats that rarely reach below the level of their bodies. Soon, groups of drakes pursue single ducks in courtship. The female usually stops the chase by turning to touch the favored suitor with her bill. Then the couple flies off. She selects the nesting territory; he guards it against intruding pairs. The duck usually builds her nest of grass and down among concealing reeds, but she may choose a brush pile or an old hawk's nest in a tree. In earlier times, nesting Mallards were uncommon in eastern North America where their close relatives, the black ducks, held sway. But Mallards breed well in captivity, and are now enjoyed by people of all ages in almost every city park. Image Size: 13.5 x 14.5 in. Overall Size: 14 x 17 in. Unframed. (B05050)

Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Cardinal and Peony" 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 commemorative cover for Balke's Birds and Flowers of the 50 States, cancelled December 11, 1985. Only the Summer Tanager matches the male Cardinal in full red color, but the Tanager lacks the pronounced crest which the Cardinal proudly displays. A black mask, a stout coral red bill, and dark red feet also distinguish the Cardinal from the Tanager. So brilliant is his color that he was named Cardinal for the scarlet robes of a church dignitary. The female's dress is much more subdued. She has an olive-gray back, dull reddish wings and crest, and soft pink-brown underparts. The birds remain together throughout the year, through in the early winter months the bond may be relaxed. The red shoots of Peonies emerging from the ground have signaled spring for generations of flower lovers who look forward to the unforgettable fragrance that is the Peony's pride. The large, usually spring-blooming, single or double flowers commonly range in shades from red to white. The Peony is cited as the earliest known medicinal plant. The name of the flower perpetuates that of Apollo in his character of physician, for as Paeon he healed the wounds the gods received in the Trojan war. From that fact, the early doctors of medicine were known as paeoni. Image Size: 19.25 x 12.75 in. Overall Size: 22 x 21 in. Unframed. (B09867)
