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 LADY OR THE TIGER
Limited Edition of 95 signed and numbered - Giclee on canvas 10 x 8 inches My Mom grew some beautiful Tiger Lilies this year in her garden and I just had to paint them. There is a short story by Frank L Stockton called The Lady or The Tiger. I remember reading it a very long time ago when I was in High School. It was a philosophical story about life choices and worth reading. The hummingbird in the painting is a female Broad Tail hummer, which are common to our area of the Southwest. The female doesn't have a red throat and she has white tips on her tail. Available in:
