Gall of Astragalus douglasii Wasp on Oak Leaf giclee print

Description

Title: Gall of Astragalus douglasii Wasp on Oak Leaf

●This is an open edition giclée print on archival watercolor paper, signed and titled on the back, reproduced from an original acrylic painting by Chad Frick.

●Galls are deformities in plant tissues caused when a foreign organism starts living in the tissue and giving off hormones. Sometimes they are truly beautiful and amazing like this pink gall created when the wasp, Astragalus douglasii, lays its eggs in an oak leaf, seen here being discovered by a young prince.

●Printed image size is 5 x 14 inches, the print has a 1-inch white border for easy framing, matting, or just to pin up, poster-style. Paper size is 7 x 16 inches.

●The watermark, "©ChadFrick," is for these web images only and does not appear on the actual print.

●The print is a giclée, meaning it is a fully archival reproduction of the highest quality.

●Technical Specs:
This giclée print was created to high standards of reproduction with materials tested by the Fine Arts Trade Guild to resist fading and discoloration in excess of one-hundred years. It was produced on an Epson 9800 printer using the eight-color k3 ultrachrome inkset which results in a wide color gamut, excellent color saturation and incredible sharpness. The conservation grade paper has a weight of 310 gsm and caliper of 22 mils. Composed of 100% cotton, the paper is acid and lignin free and does not have any optical brightners which degrade over time. It has a ISO brightness factor of 95.6. As with all fine art, for maximum longevity, this print should not be displayed in direct sunlight or subject to extremes of temperature or humidity.

●Since you’re viewing a low-res version of this print on a computer monitor, you should know that colors may vary slightly, and that the actual print is way more crisp and colorful and that the artist worked personally with the printer to ensure the best print possible.

●This is an open edition, so if you would like to order more then one just let me know!
