This original is sold but archival prints are available.
I wandered around Boston for a scene to paint for the Copley Society of Art's 2019 Fresh Paint fundraiser. I wandered down Public Alley 439 looking for a good perspective on a gold dome visible at the other end of the alley. All of a sudden I entered a widening in the alley and instead of the drab view that I had been walking past I was suddenly surrounded by brightly painted murals, day-glow bins, window reflections, complimentary paint themes on the red brick, and weathered copper cladding. And to add to all that, the Hancock Tower reached for the dappled sky in the background.
The piece was auctioned off at the fundraiser, but I managed to get a good image of the piece that depicts a decidedly non-iconic view of my closest city. I can now offer it as a giclée!
What is a giclée? It's pronounced "zhee-clay". It's a french noun meaning 'the spray from a jet or nozzle'. Giclée printing was invented in the late 1980's as a new method to reproduce fine artwork. It has greater resolution than traditional lithography and utilizes high quality, fade-resistant pigment-based inks and can print a variety of surfaces including canvas. Common home printers use use dye-based inks not suitable for archival reproductions. The print shop I use employs a 12 color CMYK printer for stunning reproductions. I myself have been fooled as to which was my original and which was the print!
My giclées are printed on 100% cotton rag-based acid-free paper using long lasting archival inks, producing museum quality prints. Each one has a one inch border to allow for proper hanging in a mat and frame of your choice.
