Path Through the Pines — Fine Art Print

This is a Giclée Fine Art Print of my original artwork, "Path Through the Pines", part of a series depicting landscapes and plants of the area where I grew up. That body of work is an exploration of the childlike perception of memory juxtaposed with adult understanding, a powerful tension that I believe we are all carrying in some capacity. This particular artwork reminds me of daily walks on the dirt road I grew up on.
 
I loved the process of creating this piece, from going out to sketch the composition, to laying down the loose, impressionistic brush strokes to imply trees and foliage. I really enjoy the color in this one too– particularly the contrast between the ultramarine shadows and golden sunlight on the road. It was one of those rare artworks that felt joyful and playful, flowing effortlessly as I translated my vision onto the canvas.
 
No matter where you hang this Fine Art Print– beside a reading chair or above your night stand– it's sure to pull you in and invite your mind to wander...away from the daily stressors and into the joy of taking in a beautiful, peaceful spot in nature. We all need more of that. May this print be a daily reminder for you to step aside and take a few breaths, noticing the sound of the birds chirping and the feeling of sunlight on your skin. 
 
The Details: This premium Giclée Fine Art print is on high-quality, archival paper with a matte finish. The colors are so rich and velvety on the textured paper. It arrives either in a protective poster tube or rigid cardboard packaging with a protective clear sleeve and a backing board to ensure safe delivery. Slight differences may appear due to differences in your screens color settings, but I spend a lot of time testing and matching colors as closely to the original artwork as possible. 
 
Framing Tips: This wall art print is sized to fit common frame sizes. Each print has an additional 1/2 inch border to allow room for easy matting and framing. Give your print visual space by framing it with a white mat. This gives the artwork "breathing room" so your eye can fully take it in without competing with surrounding details in your space. It also makes the whole artwork appear larger in your space. The print looks best with a mat 1.5-2 inches wide for the smaller size or 3-3.5 inches wide for the larger size. A thick dark frame on a small size print can feel too heavy and overpower the artwork itself. Smaller sizes generally look best with a more narrow frame while larger print sizes can look great with either a narrow or with a wider frame.
