This 8x10” archival print is made from my original 10x14” watercolor, painted on location at the Old Town Quay in Montreal, Quebec.
All of my prints are individually made using light-fast inks on acid free 260 gsm watercolor paper. As with any archival art material, if it’s hung out of direct sunlight it will last for many decades. I do all my own scanning and digital color grading to ensure that the print is as close as possible to my original art.
The print will be sent to you unmatted and unframed, in a protective sleeve with an acid free backing board ensuring it reaches you in the best condition.
ABOUT THE PAINTING:
The first painting from our new home in Montreal! All the confusion of moving cross country certainly slowed down my sketching – but the occasion of the tall ships coming to the old port seemed like a great reason to break the dry spell.
Thousands of people turned out for a look at these fascinating pieces of history. I had to dodge the crowds by going to the next pier over and sketching from across the water.
It’s hard to imagine these reproduction antiques sailing around the world, powered only by wind and human ingenuity. I’m always amazed to see things like this. We think of our modern times as being so advanced – but humans have always been building complex things.
The star attraction of the day was the re-constructed HMS Bounty. Built originally for the 1962 movie Mutiny on the Bounty, and recently seen again in the Gore Verbinski/Johnny Depp film Pirates of The Caribbean. Definitely brought a piratical air to the city.
