Favorite Courses - Series 1
A project of special interest is the publication of Favorite Courses - Series 1, a limited edition series of fine art prints of world famous Scottish golf courses.
The images are taken from three original oil paintings that I recently completed on commission for a Philadelphia, PA business client whose headquarters are in Scotland.
One objective was to create separate but related images, three paintings that would stand on their own yet be in harmony with one another. This was accomplished partially by portraying scenes of ideal weather with clear blue skies and rich warm late afternoon light - conditions for which Scotland is not especially famous. My notion, however, is that these conditions can exist in the hearts and minds of avid golfers regardless of the incidental realities of the actual weather. And, while the subjects and compositions are generally traditional, the unifying color palette and style are distinctly fresh and contemporary.
The title "Favorite Courses" suggests gourmet dining. And rightly so. I aimed to create a visual feast - a non-fat, all-natural indulgence - for the eyes, the heart and soul.
Series 1 - Limited Edition Prints
Series 1 is the premier publication of fine art prints from the three original oil paintings.
The prints are created with the finest materials and cutting-edge technology. The end result is a museum quality reproduction with rich color and archival durability.
While the original oils are large (24x38 to 28x34 inches), Series 1 consists of four editions: half size and full size on paper and canvas.
The half size prints are offered framed or unframed framed. The full size prints are unframed although custom framing can be arranged.
I can also provide giclee prints in various other sizes to suit your needs, on a variety of paper or on canvas, framed or unframed. Please contact me directly for prices and ordering information for these custom giclees.
Each print will be personally hand-signed and numbered by me and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Each edition will be limited to 250 prints.
Giclee Prints
Giclee (pronounced “gee-clay”), is a highly sophisticated and widely celebrated inkjet printing process that was introduced in the late 1980s. It’s so sophisticated, in fact, that it produces prints, which truly capture the artist's original intent. Even museums have realized the vast potential of this technology and have made giclee editions a permanent part of their collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Museum of Modern Art (San Francisco) and Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles) to name a few.
Giclee printing come from the French word "gicler" meaning to spray and is considered one of the world's best techniques for reproducing original works of art.
A giclee print is produced from a digitally scanned electronic file of the original work that can be printed on a variety of materials in a range of sizes with nearly flawless color representation. A pixel by pixel analysis and coding results in the superior quality of the image especially in the midtone and shadow areas.
Giclee is very stable and resistant to fading. My images are printed with archival pigment inks (not dyes) on high quality, neutral pH, acid-free heavyweight papers or specially prepared canvas.
If you appreciate owning an original painting by a renowned artist, the canvas may be just the thing you're looking for. These special reproductions have the look of the original oil paintings.
