ARBUTUS AND SHEEPS
Common only in the Pacific North West, the Arbutus tree is always a treat to see. Ruby red or creamy yellow, its soft bark feels like skin.
An island close to my home has semi-wild sheep on it. They are free to roam unencumbered all year long even though they actually have a "home" on a farm at the northern tip of the island. Small gulf islands make farms in many ways. Predators like wolves and bears don't exist, and you don't have to build a fences!

ORIGINAL PAINTING:
30" x 40" acrylic  on 3/4" clean-edge canvas.  ( 28x38 face dimension )
A clean-edge painting can simply be hung "as is" for a modern contemporary look, or by using an optional frame that suits your decor.

GICLÉE PRINT
Giclée prints are the best type of reproductions available today.
They are supplied with a double acid free mat and foam backing board. All you need is a common 16x20" frame.

Mat options are:
    silver gray with dark blue inner mat - nice traditional look that fits well.  A mid to dark colored frame looks best
    dark blue on dark blue -  dramatic and bold look, very powerful. Best with a light colored frame like silver etc.
    white on white - traditional gallery choice, classy and elegant.  Goes with all decors. Best with a mid to medium dark frame.
