Kaleidoscope
This is a giclee print on archival paper of a canvas oil painting that I created. This buoy painting has been a challenge. I wanted to get up close and capture the peeling paint, scratches and range of bright and dull colors all tumbled together. The way the eye moves through the painting from lower left to upper right and back down through the reflections is contrasted with the angles of the buoys and their handles going from upper left to lower right. This creates a complete circle and reminds me of the kaleidoscopes we used order to play with as kids.
This is a limited edition print and is printed on acid-free archival paper and is titled, numbered and signed on the front.
The image size is 16x20" with an additional white border, bringing the paper size to 18x22".

WHAT IS A GICLEE PRINT?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Giclee print is made from high resolution digital scans that print archival quality inks onto archival paper. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction.
The quality of the giclee print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.


WHAT IS A LIMITED EDITION PRINT?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A limited edition print is a print that is numbered within a predetermined amount of prints that come from one painting. For example, an artist can determine that only 100 prints can be made of an original painting and no more - and then numbers the prints 1-100. After the 100th print is made, no more prints of that image can ever be made. This increases the value of both the original and the prints.
