TITLE: "Hope in Winter" © 2021-2023.
Winter sunset skies can be so bright! This setting at Palmer Lake shows the colors of the sky reflecting off the ice and the star barely visible on Sundance Mountain. It occurred while my children were ice skating, and it is named after my daughter, Hope.
Palmer Lake is a tiny gem of a rustic mountain town nestled between Colorado Springs and Denver. The large star slightly visible on the mountainside is lit for holidays and special commemorations. The town built the star in 1935 to “spur civic pride” during the Great Depression. It measures 457 feet wide and when lit is visible from miles away.
NOTE: The original oil painting may still be available; contact me if interested.
OTHER OPTIONS: Let me know if you're looking for a larger size, cropped format, or a print on gallery wrapped canvas.
SIGNED: The reverse sides of current prints are stamped, labelled, and signed by the artist.
POTENTIAL SURFACE OPTIONS:
CANVAS
Woven Canvas: Elegant double-weave surface texture with excellent color saturation (polyester and cotton). Always coated with satin varnish for protection.
+Mount: Woven Canvas can be mounted on the surface of rigid board or a cradled wood panel, ready for you to frame (frame not included), labelled and signed on the back.
+Brush Strokes: Textured brush strokes can be added to woven canvas to give the look of an original painting; includes gloss varnish for protection (or satin upon request).
PAPER
Paper Matte: 88lb Heavy Photo Matte, Soft White. This is my favorite print paper -- zero gloss, high detail and contrast. A beautiful, classic option!
Paper Linen: 60lb Lightly Textured, Photo Matte.
Paper Canvas: 60lb Enhanced, Highly Textured, Photo Matte.
Paper Metallic: Interesting Luster. Photo paper with a metallic, silver sheen, semi-iridescent.
+Coat: Paper prints can be sprayed with a UV and water-resistant lacquer for a permanent, protective, non-yellowing finish. The manufacturer states the paper can be placed in a frame without glass, as the coating protects it from general indoor elements.
Note: Sometimes there are other paper options, not described here.
GICLÉE PRINT: “Giclée” is a French word pronounced “zhee-clay” meaning, “sprayed or squirted.” My use of the word giclée refers to modern giclée — digital images are printed on archival paper using a professional printer that sprays pigment-based ink. (Some inkjet printers use dye-based ink, which is lower quality.) Using these methods, the prints could last up to 100 years under ideal conditions.
SHIPPING: Arrives in Protective Sleeve and Simple Rigid Envelope.
FRAME & OTHER DECOR NOT INCLUDED, FOR REFERENCE ONLY
