Description

"Over the sand or over the sea, this 'high flying Gecko' is a 'sight' to see!"

Artist comment: "Not a typical 'kite' a creature is never-the-less a familiar sight at kite festivals everywhere. Generally they are animal shapes from frogs and dogs to pigs and cats and more. This bright and cheerful yellow gecko was floating over the beach on one such occasion. I photographed it for painting in pastel later. In my studio, using the snapshots for reference, I sketched the subject with horizon line and small craft (for interest). I began with sky and sea using soft pastel in compatible shades of blue. I began the gecko using yellow, pink, and orange. When satisfied with the values, I painted the eyes and lines."

This substrate is giclee canvas, using Epson Ultrachrome K3 archival inks. The canvas has been coated with PremierArt(TM) print shield, which seals and protects the artwork from moisture, UV light fade, humidity, atmospheric contaminants, abrasion, and fingerprints. This stretched canvas print is gallery wrapped (the image is extended or mirrored to wrap around the sides of wooden stretcher bars and stapled to the back) so the print can be displayed framed or unframed. The print is signed and numbered by the artist, includes a signed certificate of authenticity, and is wired for hanging.

This print is available in other sizes and substrates (paper and canvas) so if you are interested in a different size or substrate please contact me or visit my website (www.carolthompson.com). For price and availability of the original painting, please contact me.
