King Proteas.
These plants just can't be ignored. Something about the strength and power of the single bloom brings with it a feeling of confidence. "I don't know many people who are not impressed by the King Protea - they have that 'look at me' vibe, and warrant a solo. After testing out my ability to understand them in this image, I later included a bunch in 'The Balance of All Things', somehow symbolising all that is fresh and new and strong, which I contrasted with heirlooms and gentle age".
Proteas are not native to Australia but to South Africa. They are all of the Proteaceae Family with includes such diverse plants as Banksias and Grevilleas, Waratah, Hakeas, Woody Pear and Bottlebrush. The family existed widely in Gondwana over 50 Million years ago.
Our print and photographic partners are locally owned and operated and support the highest quality product philosophy.
We use only high quality archival inks, some times known as Giclee prints and Canson fine art papers and canvas.
Custom sizes may be available in addition to sizes listed but it depends on the size of the original art work and the size of the digital file. Please enquire.
If you order your print on canvas, you will need to have it stretched and framed at your local picture framers. The surface has already been treated with a UV coating for extra protection. Your canvas will be rolled and posted to you.
A limited number are produced of between 20 and 200. These are produced on request. Each one is signed and numbered by hand. This is visible on the lower edge on the paper print, but is on the edge of the canvas and will not be visible when stretched.
Reproductions are NOT created in canvas at the same size as the original painting.
Each print is supplied with its own matching print certificate.
Prints over 50 cm in measurement are large format prints and are signed and come with a print certificate. Canvas prints are signed on the back .Smaller prints are not signed.
To facilitate stretching a boarder of plain canvas, or black canvas (on the Still @ Home series) is added to the image edge.
The paper prints measurements are given as image size and paper size in case you wish to have a larger space around your image before a mount window is laid on top.
Sizes shown in room setting images are for illustrative purposes only /not necessarily to scale.
Please check sizes with a tape measure before ordering, remembering that the framing you select will add to the size.
