Fisherman's wharf in Victoria BC is home to Barbs Fish N" Chips, the above house boats and of course the fishing fleet. It had been raining the day I explored the wharf so only a few sea gulls were enjoying the view.
To capture the essence of the swirly rain on the water, I used a coarse bristle brush and loose brush strokes to suggest the splattery effect. Although the painting appears photographic from a distance or in this small sample, it has thousands of interesting brush marks throughout.

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