What is an original print?

#originalart #reproductions #copies #prints An original" or "fine art" prints as defined by the Print Council of America as an image drawn or etched or engraved on some surface by the artist, who prints a limited number of the pieces by hand (or personally supervises someone else doing it), then signs and numbers the individual prints and defaces the printing plate or erases the image on the lithographic stone.  So original art is not a reproduction nor a copy.  For example it can be an etching, a lithograph or a screen print produced in a limited edition by the artist if possible or if not it has been supervised by the artist. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist. Often it has the printers stamp on the reverse or bottom corner.  How can you tell if it's an original and not a copy or reproduction?

New Hand Made Books II

Next phase after putting the chapters together is binding the sections, glueing, and attaching the boards. I covered the boards with lovely blue paper and am ready to attach the book block to the boards.

Three Weeks in Autumn

Image
The latest paintings to leave the studio. 'Three Weeks in Autumn' is a triptych which I painted over the past two years. Based on the impression I had each time I drove up the road to the house in autumn. The painting on the left is Week I, autumn just beginning, still lots of green but yellows and red creeping in. Week II in the middle, autumn progressing so more reds and yellow, less green and finally Week III on the right, few greens more yellow and red and brown too as the leaves wither and die. I also wanted to give the feeling of the wind blowing the leaves about and up in the air. I am pleased that the paintings are going to a home with a big wall as each measures 60x60 cm, so a total width of 180cm.  The new owners are planning on putting the tree together of course in their living room where they can look at them each day and hopefully get a lot of pleasure.  See more of my work
