WOLVES UNDER HALE-BOPP


Every now and then something comes along to inspire poets, writers, painters and musicians to create new works. Being somewhat of a cloud-gazer at heart, I was certainly not immune to the effects of this astrological wonder that came along in 1997, the comet Hale-Bopp. It was one of those times when we all became amateur astronomers for a while.  This painting of two timber wolves was my own personal way of marking this time in our history and to pay tribute to a comet that won't come this way again for some 3000 years.

ABOUT YOUR OPTIONS


🍂 Paper Giclee Print 11 X 14 Matted

An 11 X 14 inch matted print allows you to purchase an art print at an affordable price but also gives you the additional benefit of picking up a standard 11 X 14 inch frame almost anywhere.  It is printed with the exact archival standards as the higher priced versions on the same Epson SureColor printer.  This print includes a certificate of authenticity and is inserted into a crystal clear envelope and arrives to you encased in a sturdy “stay flat” envelope. It is a very popular option for gift giving because of its price point and presentable qualities.  For people with limited wall space this is also an excellent option. 

🍂Paper Giclee Print

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. 

🍂 Canvas Giclee Print

The canvas version of this painting is our top of the line option and is printed with the same exacting standards as its paper counterparts but on an American made artists canvas.  This version also requires custom framing of your choosing but doesn’t require the use of glass and matts usually resulting in an overall lower framing cost.  The canvas is also shipped rolled and arrives to you signed and numbered with two coats of an archival varnish and a certificate of authenticity.  Your canvas once stretched and framed will have the closest resemblance to the original painting of all three options.  Des’s canvas editions are limited to only 50 copies for an even higher collectable value.
