About this painting:

There is something extra special about an original piece of art. And with this Tiny Treasures series, the  value of an original painting is available at an affordable price. The small size (6 1/4″ x 4 5/8″) allows you to enjoy all the wonders of original paintings, such as the long period of labor and touch by the artist, the special materials used, and the energy of the artist’s concentration focused upon the work, at a collectible price.

This original painting was rendered using the finest acrylic pigment paints, pen and ink, and carbon crystal pastels. The paints have a clarity and robustness that offers a rainbow variety of color to bring light into your room. The carbon crystal pastels reflect light due to their crystalline nature, unlike chalk pastels, which results in a dimensional quality in the image. The crystalline effect cannot be reproduced, it can only be viewed in the original piece.

The Tiny Treasures series features frames that keep the initial purchase affordable. While the mat is non-acidic, the plexiglass lacks protection against UV light that can damage artwork over time. It is highly recommended that you keep the painting out of direct sunlight and direct artificial light (with the exception of LED bulbs which emit negligible UV rays) and that you replace the frame with higher quality options for long term preservation.
