DEER

THE LEGEND


 

About sixteen years ago I walked into a local sporting goods store, looked across the way and laid eyes on this “Jaw Dropping” whitetail mount hanging on the wall.  I later contacted the owner of that mount and made arrangements to borrow it for a few days to gather the appropriate reference material for a future painting.  At the time I knew I probably didn’t possess the artistic maturity to successfully create a painting that projected my vision for this incredible deer, so I put it on the back burner.  Waiting all these years to sharpen up my artistic skills before attempting to tackle this piece was the right move and here is the final product which stretched my abilities to the max!

ABOUT YOUR OPTIONS

🍂 Paper Giclee Print

This option is a signed and numbered print which like all of Des’s prints are produced in his studio under his strict supervision on a wide format Epson SureColor Printer.  Using only the finest Italian made 100% cotton rag paper with a smooth finish, this option is hand signed and numbered by Des and limited to an edition size of only 95 prints.  This print is shipped rolled with a certificate of authenticity and is guaranteed to arrive in mint condition.  Custom framing is required on this print which allows you to pick exactly the frame and matt combination of your choice to match your own specific decor. 

🍂 Canvas Giclee Print

The canvas version of this painting is our top of the line option and is printed with the same exacting standards as its paper counterparts but on an American made artists canvas.  This version also requires custom framing of your choosing but doesn’t require the use of glass and matts usually resulting in an overall lower framing cost.  The canvas is also shipped rolled and arrives to you signed and numbered with two coats of an archival varnish and a certificate of authenticity.  Your canvas once stretched and framed will have the closest resemblance to the original painting of all three options.  Des’s canvas editions are limited to only 50 copies for an even higher collectable value.
