Description & History
Description & History
This is a 12x9" print. You may select a Limited Edition Print or an Open Edition Print. Limited Edition prints are signed and numbered by the artist. You will receive the next number available. Each Limited Edition is ten prints only.
Please Note: 'The Frances' is printed on Sommerset Velvet 255 gsm certified archival paper, which lends itself well to the velvety texture of the drawing. Limited Edition Prints # 1 - 3 of 'The Frances' have already been sold. #4 is pre-matted for gallery sale. This accounts for its higher price. All other prints are unmatted.
History of the Original: This is one of my favorite pieces. It's the first time I managed to capture a piece in photorealism, and it was made on aged paper that I inherited from my grandmother. My grandmother, Frances, loved flowers, and I inherited my love of drawing from her, so it seemed only-fitting to name this one, "The Frances". This original found a home with a lovely couple from out of town. They bought it from a gallery show, and it never made it back home after its first showing. Original: sold.

What is an Artist Proof? What is an Enhanced Edition?
What is an Artist Proof? What is an Enhanced Edition?
An Artist's Proof is print test. It is ordered by an artist prior to finalizing a print run, and it may or may not contain errors. Like a penny that has been struck twice, sometimes an Artist Proof can be more valuable than a perfect print. Artist's usually reserve their proofs for friends and family.
An Enhanced Edition Print is a specialty item, created by coloring, or otherwise altering a print. Foiled prints, painted prints and prints touched in colored pencil are all examples of enhanced prints. We do not currently offer enhanced prints.
