DISCLAIMER:
I am red-green color impaired, so know that.

Mine seems to be somewhere in between the two. Here is an image, but my camera tends to over brightness:

Artist's Proofs used to be pieces where the colors might vary from the final product,
but these days, actual test proofs seem to do that (which are then --or should be-- destroyed)
with the artist's proofs, which average 10% of the total run are simply a way for the artist to have
copies that they can distribute themselves to and allows them to have a certain amount of added profit
for the release of a print if it is a strong seller on the secondary market.

Which does yours resemble color-wise - Shag's artist proof , or the one with more blues in it ( in frame ) ?
