Patrick Block drew "The Mystery of Widow's Gap" in Donald Duck Adventures #27 in 1994. He worked for Gladstone and Egmont. I have a Huey and burro commission from that time. Patrick offers art for sale at convention appearances and his
dukstuf ebay store. I'm really happy to acquire this one. Patrick described it like this:
This week I'm offering up this mid-1990s Holiday promotional piece from Gladstone Publishing as realized by Walt Disney comic book regular PAT BLOCK.
Watercolors featuring Patrick's snowscenes are my number one most requested watercolor pieces, so here is your chance at a LOVELY PORTRAIT of both DONALD DUCK and his three little nephews HUEY, DEWEY and LOUIE featuring a simple, but very pretty snowscene background which includes snowy pine trees.
This is one of a kind ORIGINAL ARTWORK- a complete watercolor and ink original on excellent Arches Watercolor paper painted with imported Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and signed by the artist.
Original measures almost 14" wide.
Patrick and Shelly used this as their Christmas card around 1995, and it may also have run in the Comic Buyer's Guide as part of an advertisement for Gladstone Publishing.
The art has a couple of small marks from age, but nothing serious. See pictures.
