Acrylics
OilsThe name acrylic paint is derived from acrylate resin, the vehicle or binder in which the pigments are suspended. It is this synthetic binder, consisting of an emulsion of extremely fine particles of resin dispersed in water, which largely determines the differences in character and handling qualities between oils and acrylics. The major advantages of acrylics are their permanence, their resistance to the effects of aging, and their flexibility.
Oil paint consists of dry pigments ground in a natural drying oil such as linseed, or semi-drying oil such as safflower or poppy. I use a water-friendly oil paint, Grumbacher/Max. Max is a range of oil paints in which the linseed-oil binder has been modified to mix with, rather that repel, water.
Giclee Prints
All of my prints are hand signed and numbered and accompanied with a certificate of authenticity.Giclee (pronounced jhee-clay) reproductions were originally developed in 1989 as a digital method of fine art printing. The French word “Giclee” means to spray ink.
Original artwork is converted into digital format, stored in the computer, and then sent directly to a high-resolution inkjet printer.
Giclee prints are now found in the finest galleries. Reputable museums around the world, including the Louvre, New York’s Metropolitan Museum, and the Guggenheim, display Giclees as part of their collections.
Printed reproductions vary in size from the original. This is done deliberately to differentiate them from the original. Please check details on enlargement view for exact size.
Giclee prints can be printed on canvas or high quality watercolor paper. Please check enlargement page for surface details.
