"Seabirds" framed artist proof
"Seabirds" framed artist proof
"Seabirds" is the first painting I did after the tsunami destroyed the gallery in 2011. The two birds symbolize love and hope... rising above the waves, buoyed by the support I received from around the world.
This canvas measures 8.5x10.5 and is set in a black matte wood frame with gold filet ( liner) outside dimensions of frame are 12”X13.5”
When I print a limited edition on canvas it is customary to print a few “test runs” to check color, type of canvas, etc. I usually do them smaller, sometimes the same size as the edition, but more often than not they are a quarter to half the size of the original. Any that aren’t up to my standards are destroyed . The ones that do reflect the final issue are noted as an “artist proof”. There are never more than 10 of these, usually less. Also they are usually not a standard size so that is why I have them mounted and custom framed.
