$1,000–$8,000. Common still lifes: $1,000–$2,500. Key value factors: Kelly's contemplative still lifes appeal to collectors of both Japanese prints and contemporary art.
A 2005 print combining lithograph and woodcut techniques in color, titled with a single playful word that suggests a sly, conspiratorial gesture. Daniel Kelly's merging of lithographic and woodblock processes in a single image reflects his willingness to cross technical boundaries in pursuit of the right visual effect. The lithograph provides smooth tonal gradations and fine detail, while the woodcut contributes bold outlines and the unmistakable texture of carved wood grain. Together they create a layered surface that neither technique could achieve alone. The whimsical title invites the viewer into a moment of shared amusement, keeping the mood light and intimate.
