My Mother's Maple Print

I painted most of this piece en plein air (aka on-location) in my mother’s garden in Paradise, California in April 2021. The garden was planted around 1983 and grew up alongside my twin sister and I, an eclectic gathering of botanical siblings. My parents just recently moved out of the house they built there before my sister and I were born and sold the property, a forced goodbye after the Camp Fire burned most of the town down in 2018. Spending the time in her garden to paint this was my way of saying goodbye to this place after so long. I doubt I will ever return. The arched elements in the composition are a symbol of my family’s presence on this property, one that will remain most evident in the blooms the garden produces year after year for future inhabitants.

The original was painted with oil and acrylic on panel.

PRINT DETAILS:

- This is an archival print of my original painting.
- Each print is signed on the front.
- Frame and mat are NOT included.
- All of my prints are produced with professional art materials including pigment-based inks and archival Somerset Velvet fine art paper. 
-In order to keep your print in great condition it is important to frame with archival materials (mats, backing board, etc.), keep out of direct sunlight, and UV glass if you really want to go all-out!

SIZE:

- Paper is larger than the listed size, as there is a ~1.25" white border around the actual image to enable easier matting, or float mounting to display the deckled edges of the paper.
- Image itself is shrunk down ~1/4" from size listed to expose signature line when matted or framed in the corresponding standard sized mat/frame.
