The chase is on! Spring has sprung and the baby pīwakawaka are chasing each other through the apple blossoms while begging their parents for food. Could they be any cuter!?
I turned this large artist's proof fine-art print (edition AP1/5) into a unique mixed-media piece. Giclee printed on the highest quality Breathing Color Elegance Velvet fine-art paper; this piece is fixed to a deep cradle board, then enhanced with hand-painted pearlescent ink dots and impasto, giving a texture of thick brushstrokes with a gloss finish. The board's edges are hand-stenciled with an embossed design and painted in sage green.
No need to frame - the impasto protects the print from gentle handling, dust, etc.
Artwork size: 40x40cm and 4.3cm deep. Ready to hang with D-rings and string attached to the rear, inset so the board hangs flat to the wall.
Photos show the front and a side angle, along with the digital image, before printing and embellishing. If you would like to see more images, please enquire.
What is an artist's proof? It is a print outside of the limited-edition, from the artist's personal collection. It is used to "proof" the colours and paper for the limited-edition print run. They are considered collector items. I have one and only one AP for each size. They are never available through galleries, but I sometimes exhibit them.

Many of my original paintings are embellished with pearlescent accents. I also embellish the fine-art prints made from these originals, creating a unique piece of art in the process.
