On a remote atoll in the northwest Hawaiian chain a gathering of Hawaiian green sea turtles plays out an interesting tale. In the heat of the day the turtles create a ring of interaction during their pre-mating behavior. Painted for renown turtle scientist George Balazs who spent decades studying the sea turtles of the world and especially the green turtles known as Honu in Hawaiʻi.
MATTED PRINTS
The mat is the decorative border on the outside of the actual printed picture. Matted prints are measured by outside mat dimensions available in 8"x10", 11"x14", and 16"x20" - fitting standard-sized frames.
*Note that the actual picture size will be smaller than the mat size and may vary in shape depending on the shape of the original painting.
FULL-SIZE PRINTS
Full-size prints extend to the full dimensions of 8”x10”, 11x14”, or 16”x20” (or equivalent square inches in the case of narrow artwork). There is no mat border, so the picture itself is larger than that of a matted print.
GICLÉE
Giclée, pronounced zhee-klay, is a French word meaning “fine spray”. Giclée are the finest quality reproductions printed on canvas, then varnished with a durable protective coating. They can be stretched and framed like an original painting and need no glass covering. Mine are sent rolled and ready for framing.
GALLERY WRAP GICLÉE
You may inquire about gallery wrap giclée, which adds an extra 1-5/8" all around, with an image mirrored edge. Gallery wrap giclée cost 20% more than standard giclée and can be stretched at a frame shop near you, as a contemporary option to framing.
