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.

Limited Edition of 95 signed and numbered - Giclee on canvas 8 x 10 inches
My Dad told me a story from his childhood. I first heard it as a youngster and of course several times thereafter. When my Dad was about five years old, his father told him he could have his own horse when he could saddle it by himself. One day, he tied the saddle to a rope attached to the block and tackle in the barn. He hauled it up into the air and tied it off. Then he led a horse underneath it and put down a pan of oats to keep the horse interested in staying in one place. He lowered the saddle, hitched it up and had him a horse. I wanted to play a little with this story in my painting called Saddle Her and She's Yours Available in: Cream with Brown Wood Trim Frame - $100.00 Redwood with Brown Wood Trim Frame - $100.00 Unframed in a protective bag - $60.00 Barn wood no longer available |

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. Available in:
