Revisiting The Archive!

Happy Spring!

  It is really hard for me to sit in front of the computer right now with such lovely weather out my window. It has triggered spring cleaning of sorts as I dig into my archive and try to organize my hard drive of images for reproduction. It is quite the task, and I keep getting distracted by all of the interesting things I am coming across. I used to be so good about documenting. There are lots of sets like this.
  Check out this continuum of "Pear Tree" images...

  On a related note, I just got home from tweaking proofs at a local printer for my first full-sized giclee reproduction. I have actually had products like this available on Fine Art America for a while. However, while I think they are a great source for well-priced goods and a quick turn-around, they produce massive quantities and drop ship so I'm not able to approve the quality of their orders.
 
  My new approach with this local printer has been very interesting. I am starting with Off-Shore Wind Turbine and will deliver my first full-size reproduction to a customer next week! The reproduction is printed on the same type of canvas that I paint on, and it has a nice matte finish with very convincing detail.
  I am going to begin the process of borrowing back locally owned pieces to be professionally scanned and archived. Then eventually archiving the new pieces as they come to be. Gifts and commissioned works will of course not be available for reproduction.
  I am so excited to soon offer a comprehensive shopping cart with high-quality reproductions of all my recent works.  If you are curious, you can visit it's current incarnation here. There is still lots of work to be done, but I am hoping to have the page ready for an April decal clearance. Get your walls ready for cuteness!
WANT A FREE REPRODUCTION?
If you own an original painting of mine that has not been scanned, please contact me to help with this process!
If you are willing to deliver your painting, I will coordinate all of the logistics with a fine art printer local to you. In return, along with my eternal gratitude, I will ship you a free print of the Moore-Art painting of your choice.
PLEASE
WITH INQUIRIES!
