Giclee Prints on Canvas

Like offset lithographs, Giclée prints start with an original painting. A transparency of the original is scanned into a computer, where it can be color corrected, stored digitally and printed out as needed. Using pigment based inks, a series of tiny nozzles spray the canvas with a fine spray.  Because there are no line screens involved, Giclée prints have a higher resolution than offset lithographs, (about 1800 dots per inch) In offset lithographs each dot of color is encircled by white space, like in newspaper printing. In the Giclée process, however, inks are sprayed as droplets rather than dots; each droplet bleeds into the canvas creating a more continuous tone. The Giclée prints' inks are a pigment based ink, verses an ink which uses dyes, and have been tested for longevity and outlast most lithograph inks being used. The Pigment particles are larger then that of dye particles, and are hold color longer. The prints have shown to last 85-100 years without noticeable fading, assuming certain care factors are followed, allowing archival museum-quality prints.

The Mad Hatter

​Limited Edition of 95 signed and numbered - Giclee on canvas  10 x 8 inches
The donkey's name is Rambo and he is full of mischief. I'm sure he would have liked a chance to nibble on Geraniums, instead of having them decorate his hat. Rambo lives in Castle Rock, Co with his owners Jim and Cindy.  Rambo is quite a character! ​

See Spot Run

​Limited Edition of 95 signed and numbered - Giclee on canvas  12 x 16 inches

  The eagle feather is painted with four horses that represent the Rainbow of Mankind:  Red, Yellow, Black and White.  The Appaloosa pony is patterned with many colors to represent harmony.  After finishing the painting and thinking about what I would call it,  a phrase from the Dick & Jane Reader came to mind.   I chuckled a little to myself as I named it “See Spot Run”.  It seemed the perfect title.
