Chivas Regal abstract painting Barry Tate Gallery of Fine Art - acrylic paintings and watercolor paintings

CHIVAS
WOW FACTOR! That was the mandate from my clients on this large 5' x 5' abstract commission. Working with some photos from their new home, we were able to simulate various abstract paintings hanging on their wall before actually painting it! Because of the open feeling of the living room with large uncluttered spaces, we could see that a 30x40 mid-size painting just wasn't going to do it.

Working with some sample paintings and a base line of circles, Chivas emerged. Why Chivas? Although it doesn't show up in this small internet image, wet and watery acrylics go crazy when some alcohol is spattered into it a just the right time- not too wet and not too dry. I was enjoying the wild swirls of delicious colors when an artistic impulse made me splatter a generous shot or two of Chivas Regal scotch right into it! And of course some into the artist! It worked perfectly and automatically named the piece. A lot of fun!

ORIGINAL PAINTING:

5' X 5' acrylic on 1 1/2" clean-edge canvas.

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 metallic or wood.
    white on white - traditional gallery choice, classy and elegant. Goes with all decors. Best with a mid to medium dark frame.
