Description
A Quality ART PRINT that is Affordable, Fast, & Easy
DOWNLOAD and PRINT this beautiful expressionist painting at home or in a local shop. Add some artistic style to your home or office, or brighten a friend’s birthday with this unique gift.
The original painting is one of my most popular renewal art theme pieces. Read the back story about one of the first pieces here. It is the first in a new colour design print series, in which most of the prints (so far) are created through digital colour design on top of an original painting image. This colour exploration was done with paint. Find out more about this Colour Design Print series here.
No shipping… no handling… just download, print, and go.
A great last-minute gift idea… or a little something just for you… with low effort and big payoff.
Art PRINT (Download) versus Art PRINT (Poster)
Both products are made from the same high quality, high resolution image files.
This Art PRINT (Download)—which you are looking at now—can be printed in your own home today. As soon as you complete your purchase, the file is yours to print at home or in a local shop. You have immediate access to the image and the most freedom to choose what kind and size of print you want.
By contrast, the Art PRINT (Poster) in the Gift SHOP is made to order by our printing service, Printful, and then sent to your shipping destination. This is all set up for you already, but it does take a few days to make and a couple more to deliver. You have size options, but the type of print is set. It is museum-quality poster made on thick and durable matte paper.
Choose what is best for you. Immediate access and more choices? Go with the Download! Or everything already set up for you? Go with the Poster!

Print this file up to 24×24″.

Perks:
Downloading a painting can be a great option for a gift in a hurry. It’s yours as soon as the purchase is complete. No need to wait for shipping and handling.
Printing Your Image:
Print right at home with your home photo printer! (A++) Instant gratification.
You can use the same paper you use for your photos. The file is set up to print with the standard printing inks (CMYK–or Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black).
Or you can outsource. There are many options for buying prints these days. In general, we’ve got big box stores like Costco and Walmart versus a more local, specialized print shop.
Choose your printing option according to what is most important to you.
Print at home: provided you already have a photo printer and ink, this is your fastest, most cost-effective option, with quality depending on your printer.
Home printers range from offering a basic quality photo print to offering high quality, nearly professional prints. You know your home printer best. I suggest considering whether your printer offers what you need.
Box stores: retailers like Costco and Wallmart are great if you need the print quickly (same day is often possible), are looking for the best bargain (besides a good home printer), and are happy with a dependable, good photo quality.
I have artist friends who swear by using the box store printers when they sell their photos at art fairs. The quality is solid.
Fine art printers: places like Opus or any local art printer or framing shop are great if you like to support local business, want the best service and quality, and have a bit of time and more than a few dollars.
This level of service costs more than the box stores but far less than an original painting, and is worth the extra cost if you want a museum quality print that will stand the test of time.
