ON THE WAPITI


An old photo I took of one of the many scenic twists and turns on the Wapiti River served as the backdrop for this 30 X 48 inch oil painting I titled “On The Wapiti”.  A bull elk steps out of the September aspens and echoes a challenge across the water to a rival as he tends to his cows.  Visualizing this composition through that photo came easy, as memorable moments of past jet boat trips during elk season flooded my mind.

ABOUT YOUR OPTIONS

 

🍂 Artist Proof Paper

This option is a signed and numbered print which like all of Des’s prints are produced in his studio under his strict supervision on a wide format Epson SureColor Printer.  Using only the finest Italian made 100% cotton rag paper with a smooth finish, this option is hand signed and numbered by Des and limited to an edition size of only 95 prints.  This print is shipped rolled with a certificate of authenticity and is guaranteed to arrive in mint condition.  Custom framing is required on this print which allows you to pick exactly the frame and matt combination of your choice to match your own specific decor. 

🍂 Artist Proof Canvas

This canvas giclee version is printed with the same exacting standards as its paper counterpart but on an American made artists canvas.  It is printed smaller than the original painting which tightens up the detail in the artwork while allowing it to be more affordable and requiring less wall space. This variant requires custom framing of your choosing but without the need of glass and matts usually resulting in an overall lower framing cost.  Each canvas has two coats of archival varnish applied to it before it is signed and numbered.  It is then rolled and shipped with an accompanying certificate of authenticity. This canvas edition is limited to only 50 copies in total thus creating a high collectable value.  

🍂 Studio Canvas

This version of our canvas giclee prints was introduced for those who want a print in the identical dimensions as the original painting.  Once framed this canvas will be the most impactful version and really provide that “Wow Factor” to any room.  It is printed with the same exacting standards as its smaller counterparts.  The edition size for this studio canvas is set at only 25 copies in total thus creating a very high collectable value. As with every McCaffrey print they are signed and numbered by Des and include a certificate of authenticity before they're rolled and packaged for shipping.  Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.
