ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A view out my back window, a theme I’ve returned to so many times, but then, when I walk past one of the windows looking out to the east across the valley it’s already framed like a painting by the window. What an inspiration.

Since this view is in the east, this scene shows the colors of evening turning to sunset reflected on the eastern sky and spring trees. It’s a small painting, 7″ x 7″, just a quick sketch to capture the feel of it with little detail because it was the colors that I found inspiring, and how the landscape takes its own form and becomes abstract.

I love it as a small sketch but I also experimented with larger versions of it and it looks great at larger sizes. I offer it up to 12 x 12 but can do larger prints, so please ask if you’d like one.

SHIPPING AND CHARGES

Shipping within the US is included in the cost of each print.

Prints up to 16″ x 20″ are shipped flat in a rigid envelope. Larger prints are shipped rolled in a mailing tube unless otherwise requested; flat shipping is an extra cost because it’s oversized.

GICLEE PRINTS

The giclees are printed on acid-free hot press art paper for a smooth matte finish using archival inks. Giclee is the highest quality print available because the technique uses a dozen or more ink ports to capture all the nuances of the original painting, including details of the texture, far more sensitive than any other printing medium. Sometimes my giclees look so much like my originals that even I have a difficult time telling them apart when they are in frames.

I don’t keep giclee prints in stock for most of my works. Usually I have giclees printed as they are ordered unless I have an exhibit where I’ll be selling a particular print so there is a wait of up to two weeks before receipt of your print to allow for time to print and ship.

DIGITAL PRINTS

I make my digital prints on acid-free matte-finish natural white 100# cover using archival digital inks. While digital prints are not the quality of a giclee in capturing every nuance and detail of color, texture and shading, I am still very pleased with the outcome and usually only I as the artist, could tell where detail and color were not as sharp as the original. Digital prints are only available up to 12″ x 18″.

CANVAS PRINTS

Because many standard size canvas prints are not proportional to the original painting, canvas prints of this painting may have a portion cropped off.

I have canvas prints made as they are ordered. Smaller canvases are 3/4″ in depth, 12 x 16 and larger are 1-1/2″ in depth.

FRAMED PRINTS

I do all my own framing and can custom frame a print for you. Please ask.
