Vintage Artists Proof Etching “Night flight Owly Bird” Signed JR K- 1970’s-80’s

Original hand-pulled intaglio etching (etching with drypoint/aquatint) showing a dramatic night-flying owl-like bird with outstretched wings. Fine, detailed line work and rich brown plate tone. Pencil-titled in the lower margin “Night Flying Owly Bird”, marked A/P (Artist’s Proof) and signed by the artist (initials J.R. K…). Visible plate mark around the image confirms this is an original print from a metal plate, not a reproduction. Framing label on the back reads “TCI Paint and Decorating – Frame Dept., 3366 N. 1st St., Abilene, Texas”, placing the piece in the Texas studio art scene, circa 1970s–1980s. Condition: vintage frame with light wear; print itself appears clean behind the glass (any white spots in photos are reflections). A striking regional studio piece with strong movement and a moody, modern feel.
