new signed art prints in my shop:
6”x8” Print of a watercolor (gouache) painting of a gull perching on granite rocks at Dusk in Monterey. This painting I made shortly after a plein air workshop in Carmel and I was super inspired by the light!
Each print is made with a special process of pigment ink printing on cotton paper -- with a gorgeous watercolor paper texture like the original.
All prints are made in Oakland and signed on the back by me! Your print will arrive wrapped with an acid-free backing to keep it safe before framing.
Loved my Lichen Live Oak painting, but on a tight budget? I’ve got you!
Each print is made with a special process of pigment ink printing on cotton paper -- with a gorgeous watercolor paper texture giving it the look and feel of an original. This pigment ink makes it more long lasting than ink printing done with dyes.
All prints are made in Oakland, California and signed by me! Your print will arrive wrapped with an acid-free backing to keep it safe before framing.
6”x8” Print of a watercolor (gouache) painting of the tide pools in the afternoon in Monterey. This painting I made shortly after a plein air workshop in Carmel and I was super inspired by the tide pool shapes.
