This photograph was taken at a location I like to call "Sea Lion Island", for indeed it was a small island in the midst, and mists, of Frederick Sound in southeastern Alaska. The shoreline was alive with sea lions, but curiously, almost all of them were napping. They were totally oblivious to us as we approached in the 20 foot runabout boat. This was truly amazing to be this close to this many animals in the wild. Just when you'd swear it couldn't get better, a humpback whale split the surface of the water between us and the shoreline, obviously checking us out, and then glided back beneath the surface without barely a ripple. It happened so quickly I didn't even get my camera swung into position before it was gone...
Available in Canvas, Metal, and Acrylic Prints
All prints are available as a Handcrafted Custom Framed Print - I love custom orders!
Any print can be combined with a handcrafted, custom hardwood frame with or without a companion mat board.
Pictured are three styles of handcrafted moulding I currently produce, but I'm always open to new ideas and always working on my own new framing concepts.
Art Deco Mahogany: Any species of light colored wood with the rough bark left intact on the sides. I add Art Deco corner devices, and a high-gloss Mahogany finish. A unique contrast between the rough bark and the high-gloss finish for an intriguing presentation.
Art Deco Cherry w/Black Walnut: These frames are made from Cherry, which darkens over time, and uses Art Deco corner devices made of Black Walnut in varying arrangements.
Black Walnut: This Black Walnut moulding is clean, elegant and minimal, setting off the artwork nicely.
Although printed mat boards are one of my trademarks, the mat may also be clear of imagery and in its pristene condition.
Finally, I use anti-reflective, UV-resistent, museum-quality glass or acrylic to cover and protect my prints.
