First Day - The Casino - The Morning After
The first day of January, 2008 was a special day. First night, the evening before was spectacular, but what made this first day special was that it snowed.
The snow put a fresh touch to everything and turned all of Congress Park into a fairyland. Normally the city workers would have cleared the walks, and salted the roadways. However, this first day was special and the new snow covered the city till nightfall.
This is an image looking at the Canfield Casino. The image is from the walk way between the Merry Co Round and the Casino. It was morning and I suspect the family was taking a short cut through the park on the way to New Years Day breakfast downtown. The original watercolor is 23 X 18 inches unmated. The dramatic lighting was caused by the photographic process to make the print - the original has a snow white background.
The Original is currently on exhibition. It is available for purchase at the Gallery on the Hudson, 90 Broad St., Schuylerville, NY 12871 Open Wed-Sun 11:00-5:00 PM
This Image is also Available as Limited Edition Print
Gicleé prints are high resolution, digital
prints made with archival inks and papers. Gicleé (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a
French term meaning "to spray", describing the digital printing process. Digital
color control is more accurate, with greater opportunity for artistic
interaction.
Gicleé prints are a recognized fine are print category like lithographs and
serigraphs. Gicleé printing is considered by many to be the world's best
technique for reproducing original works of art. Made with artists' materials,
gicleé prints look and feel like the original art.
There is a difference between making an exact reproduction of an original
painting and making a "digital creation". The cost and complexity of
professionally produced gicleé prints often lead to compromises, with results
that bear faint resemblance to the originals. We have taken the time to make
sure every print we offer is as close to the original painting as possible.
Knowledgeable collectors have been amazed with the side-by-side comparisons,
often unable to tell the original from the print. We feel our gicleé prints are
among the finest anywhere.
All prints are limited editions, signed and numbered, with certificates of
authenticity. Our prints are made with 100% archival D'Arches watercolor
paper.
The Print is the size of the original.. 18 x 23.. There will only be 25 gicleé prints made on D'Arches paper at
the original size for this edition.
