Reproductions?  Why?

Because I engage with the with the act of painting  to achieve rich texture and depth of color, each painting requires time and patience. Work may include several visits to the site, delays because of weather or changes of light,  sketches and then time at the easel.

Image Selection
I select only a few pieces to be reproduced. Working with a skilled photographer and printmaker who captures the image with high resolution camera, I then supervise and closely compare the proofs to the original to insure they are color matched.  Only  then do I authorize reproduction of the image on archival canvas in the same dimensions as the original painting.

The Process

Each print is a subtle and unique, but accurate reproduction of my original, capturing the nuances in my brushwork and color. Essentially, these are high resolution digital reproductions made with an ink-jet printer using pigmented ink. Each piece is then  sealed with a protective coating, much like varnishing a finished finished painting. Then, it is stretched and treated as  a fine painting. I sign it again, but otherwise it is not enhanced or altered in any way.  I can then offer these at a much reduced price, compared to the cost of originals.

  • Each Limited Edition print custom printed
  • Individual prints are uniquely numbered and limited, we will only print 50 in the original size
  • While we may have some on hand each one is made to order. We do not warehouse them
  • I provide a signed Certificate of Authenticity
Over time, limited edition prints will become collectible form of art,  purchased now at an affordable price and I am proud to make them available for a wider audience.

Custom framing is available from our local framer or we can ship them to you unframed.

Wholesale  orders accepted for designers, decorators for commercial clients. For the complete selection, visit Blackbird Frame & Art Gallery.
