I am welcoming 2013 with a very limited edition of paintings in the series “Romance of the Landscape” The first in the series is “Cholla Dreams”, a Signed and Numbered, Limited Edition Gicleé. Each Gicleé is available as a Hand Enhanced Canvas print or a Fine Art Paper print, both with an edition size of 49 (only 98 reproductions per image). I have a limited amount of permanent numbers left.
The Hand Enhanced Canvas Gicleé prints are printed on archival canvas then stretched on stretcher bars. I then hand enhance each canvas with a clear texturing gel and varnish it to a satin/semi-gloss finish. The paper prints are printed on heavy archival fine art paper and are wrapped in a plastic sleeve with backing for protection until you are ready to matte and frame. All gicleés come with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
Gicleés are available in several sizes. Click the size that you would like to purchase. Please Note: Shipping Charges are included in the paypal menu. I have tried to keep shipping and packaging to a minimum. Items will ship either Fed Ex or USPS. I will email you tracking information once it ships.
The desert is a mysterious, harsh environment with a tangled web of plants and animals, each having their own unique characteristics, woven together in a symbiotic relationship. Warm colors of the desert give the appearance of life having been spent, yet beneath the low, broken branches and thorns the desert continues, alive, thriving. As in a dream, the cholla comes to life with light glistening on new needles and a profusion of yellow summer flowers. The arms of the cactus drop to the desert floor where quickly reborn, create a forest of teddy bear cholla, a haven for desert creatures. While prickly and harsh, the cactus needles provide comfort to animals, providing shade during hot summer days, warmth on cold winter nights. The cactus wren and curve-billed thrashers build their nests in the arms of the cactus while pack rats fortify their nests amongst the dropped arms. Dropped segments of this mother cholla become passengers on passing animals traveling to a new destination, creating another forest of cholla for the desert creatures. And the dream continues in the dream, in the cycle of life.
