Flower Pots painting
FLOWER POTS IN SPRING
While strolling through Royal Oak Garden Centre a few years ago, being an artist I was naturally taken by the amazing bursts of color everywhere! In a quiet corner of an adjacent room I saw a scene similar to this one. I thought the earth tone pots, baskets and stone walk formed a pleasant resting place for the eyes and a natural complement for the colorful blossoms.
Although the painting looks "photographic" from a few feet away or in this small image, it is interestingly quite loose and abstract. I've been exploring new ways of working with acrylic pigments using water and different application techniques which gives the finished painting a loose watercolor appearance.

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.

REMARQUÉ
A blend between an original and giclée print, each remarqué on canvas has some additional hand painting enhancements so will vary slightly from the above original.
They have the same finished dimensions as the original but with plain painted black edges. Like the original, they can be framed or simply hung as is.


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