I have produced Giclée prints from several of my most favorite paintings. I am extremely pleased with the quality of these prints and I am happy to be able to offer you these prints to add to your collection.

Giclée (pronounced “zhee-clay”) is a digital method of fine art printing that was originally developed in 1989. The word Giclée is French for “spray of ink”. The image that is to be printed is scanned and digitally stored in a computer then sent to a high resolution inkjet printer.

Giclée is recognized as a category of fine art print such as lithographs or serigraphs. Giclée is considered to be the premier method of reproducing original art. Color is much richer and truer to the original than in other types of reproduction. A Giclée features a continuous tone color instead of a screen pattern of dots. It is often difficult to distinguish between the Giclée and the original piece of art. Real artist’s material, such as watercolor paper and canvas are used to print on.

Unlike other printing methods, each image is sent to the printer individually. Because of this, Giclées are often offered in smaller editions than lithographs. Although inks and paper used should offer a high degree of permanence, Giclée should be treated as fine art and be protected from moisture and harsh sunlight.

I have produced another giclee print that I’m real excited about. The title is “Yellow Lotus”. It was printed at a wonderful printer, Acorn Studio, in Florida. They matched the original painting exactly and I’m very pleased with the quality of the watercolor paper it is printed on.
