My fine art giclées are printed on beautiful 192 gsm/2 Epson enhanced matte paper using Ultrachrome archival inks. I chose matte stock to best showcase the intentionally-muted color palette of my Dust Bowl Glimpses paintings. The striking white border makes my giclées ready for immediate framing (fits 8" x 10").
Note: The stunning frame pictured in my photographs is beautifully handcrafted from olde growth pine by Peg+Awl (http://www.etsy.com/shop/PegandAwl). While the frame is not for sale in this listing, it is available in the Peg+Awl shop. ;-)

Here's the story of "Fryin' Pone":
This morning brought a welcome respite. The family awoke to the clattering of pans and the comforting aroma of ma’s homemade corn pone. Were they still dreaming, they wondered. Yesterday the men earned nearly a dollar pickin’ so ma could splurge on cornmeal and bacon at the camp store. Fryin’ pone made her feel decent again.

About my Dust Bowl Glimpses paintings:
The idea for this series came to me last summer after reading John Steinbeck’s Pulitzer-prize winning novel, The Grapes of Wrath, and helping my mother digitize a photo collection of her ancestors who homesteaded on the prairies of Kansas and Colorado in the early 1900s. I came away from both experiences with a much greater understanding of the human condition during the Great Depression, specifically of those families displaced by the Dust Bowl.
My paintings are dedicated to the impoverished people who, despite hardship, extended a hand to help strangers because it was the human thing to do.
Thank you so very much for looking.
Cheers, Mandy
