A Word about Giclée
Giclée is French for "squirt." It is pronounced
gee clay´(with a
soft 'g'). The giclée printing process is done by
capturing the image with a high resolution digital scan. After the scan,
the image is color corrected so that the closest possible match to the
original is obtained. That image is then squirted by the
printer onto 100% rag watercolor paper with microscopic dots of archival
inks. Giclée prints provide high quality art graphics with rich, vibrant
colors. The process produces color accuracy to such an extent that
the reproductions are often indistinguishable from the original.
My giclée prints are limited editions, signed, and numbered.
I choose to use the giclée printing process because I have found that
giclées are the best fine art prints around today. Each one of my
giclée prints has two archival mats on acid-free archival foam core and is
shrink wrapped.
Currently, I have seven images
available in giclée. The four at the bottom of the
gallery page are only available as prints, but
three of the originals, Midsummer Blues,
Field of Flowers, and
Waveleaf Thistle are also available as
giclée prints. If you would like me to consider making a giclée print
of one of the original paintings, please contact
me so that I may consider the possibility.
