Port of London - circa 1840

Image details [leave comment]

Description: It is not the safe harbors when we are tied up at the dock that shape and determine our story or pens the log of our life’s journey. Rather it is where we go between our ports of call, the risks we take, the discoveries we make when we are far out at sea, away from what is safe and known. How we brave the storms, endure the calms and doldrums, whether we trust in the stars to guide us tells us a great deal about who we are...Lianne Schneider “Flow with life's currents. . . Dare to ride on bold waves of change. . . out to uncharted waters . . . For there will always be singers on the shore to welcome you back to the safe arms of Earth . . .” Kristin Zambucka I begin here an extended series of digital paintings based on small black and white sketches in an old book that is currently in the public domain. Ships and the sea…have always had tremendous symbolic meaning for me. I know I’ve lived before in the age of the tall ships, of daring exploration. For me there is no better analogy for my life’s journey than all the joys and dangers one encounters on a sea voyage aboard a sailing ship bound for unknown worlds. As with the Plantation/Estate series (which is certainly not complete yet) each piece in this series, which will be part of my “Sea Stories” gallery, is done using a slightly different style or technique. I begin my “journey” with “Port of London – Circa 1840” and at least according to my family tree, that would have been a logical beginning for that lifetime!

Prints

Bluecanvas offers Giclee prints on Epson Premium Photo Luster, Epson UltraSmooth Fine Art, or Chromata White Canvas papers. Our paper was chosen based on the highest quality, most vivid color reproduction, and archival attributes. You may choose to order prints, with or without mounting material. We use a sturdy, lightweight 3/16" Gatorfoam material for mounting fine art prints.

Epson Premium Photo Luster is a traditional choice of photographers and artists. Like all of Epson's innovative media, this paper is engineered to give you the highest resolution and color saturation possible.

Epson UltraSmooth Fine Art is for artists and professional photographers who require true archival print media. This is an acid free, 100% cotton hot press paper that is coated on both sides for extra versatility. This fine art paper is not only acid, lignin, and chlorine free, it is also pH buffered with calcium carbonate for a true archival sheet.

Chromota White Canvas is a textured 19 mil Bright White, consistent Poly Cotton Blend Matte Canvas using an acid-free, neutral pH coating. Unlike 99.9% of available inkjet canvas products on the market today, this canvas utilizes our "Chromata White" optical brightener additive-free (i.e No OBA's are used in this product) and Fluorescent Whitening agent-free breakthrough technology.

"Chromata White" gives the end-user the most stable platform on which to print photographs and fine art giclees without the metamerism issues or color shift issues inherent on other canvases. Optical Brighteners compromise the attainment of true color, they complicate profiling accuracy, and they inevitably deteriorate and yellow over time.

Gatorfoam is an extruded polystyrene board that is bonded between two layers of Luxcell wood-fiber veneer. This makes Gatorfoam heavy duty while allowing it to be used for a huge number of applications. Gatorfoam foam board is a premier choice for mounting exhibits, graphics, signs and displays. It is light weight, strong, rigid and warp resistant.
