Rose Print – Fine Art and Inspiration

Posted on by Bree

I’ve been looking forward to sharing my latest fine art print design with you, but I had to wait until after Christmas had passed because it was created specifically as a gift and I didn’t want to ruin the surprise! But the 25th has come and gone, and the print was unwrapped and well-received, so here we go…

The quote (by President Abraham Lincoln) reads: “Die when I may, I want it said by those who knew me best that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower could grow.” It was chosen because it was a very relevant and meaningful quote for the recipient.

Do you want a beautiful, custom-designed fine art print like this for your office or home? Choose your favorite photos from my portfolio and let’s talk! If you want custom photography of your favorite place or subject, I can take care of that, too.

Toddler Birthday Card

C. was so happy with the portrait photos that I took of her family earlier this month that she wanted to use one of the pictures of her son to send out as a 1st birthday invitation. I said, “Let’s take the photo print idea one step further and make this really classy and fun!” And so I designed a custom invitation for C. that incorporated the picture that she was interested in using.

Here is my design (with personal information removed for privacy):

The best part? C. loved it, and she had some really cool, scrapbook-worthy invitations to send to family and friends!

Ever tried a wrap?

Oh yeah…. a veggie wrap with hummus or veggie cream cheese and crisp cucumbers, ripe tomatoes, green onions… YUM. Creamy and crunchy veggie goodness!

But, this being a blog about photos instead of pitas, the wrap I’m referring to is a gallery wrap. Have you ever purchased a gallery wrap of your favorite photograph? If not, I highly recommend them. Gallery wraps are canvas prints wrapped around a wooden frame (with finished backing) that offer a stunning, textured, almost 3-D look. It is a classy, modern way to display fine art photographs.

I recently had a client in El Paso order three of my prints (20×30 and 16×24 – they look best when they are large) in gallery wrap style and I was so thrilled about how great they looked that I nearly drove them down to Texas myself just so I could get the wraps to the client faster. But common sense prevailed and I sent them via mail to her address, but not before snapping some photos of two of the gallery prints on my walls… so that I show you how cool they look.

Check ’em out…

My client called this afternoon to let me know that she had received her prints and said, “They blew me away!! I LOVE them!” She then told me that she was going to have her husband hang them up on the wall immediately so that she could show them off at the dinner party she was planning (maybe she can have a “wrap party!”). True story. And I love it.

Nearly all of the fine art photos prints posted on my website are available for gallery wrap printing. Order yours before the end of September and you’ll get 20% off! E-mail me for details on pricing.
