The beautiful paintings by artist Chuck Rosenthal certainly inspire a longing to have one framed and hanging in your living room. Known for his masterly use of light, his seascapes, landscapes, people and still life are all desirable. But for many of us, owning an original has been more than our budgets could afford.
Now a new line is being offered of Mr. Rosenthal's light-filled canvasses. Giclee prints on canvas are available at a fraction of the cost of an original painting.
A giclee is the highest quality of fine art prints you can buy. Here's a little information on the word and the process. The word comes from a French word that means "spray." Pronounce it "gee-clay" as it would be in French. The process used in reproduction is ink jet, but the quality results from three things - 1) care taken so that the digital image is exactly matching the original, 2) archival non-fading inks used, in 8 color cartridges and 3) printing on high quality acid-free watercolor paper or canvas.
So if you didn't have a few thousand dollars set aside to buy a piece of artwork, you still can have a high quality painting which looks like the original at a much reduced price.
Mr. Rosenthal has made available many of his pastel paintings in giclee reproductions. The still life is grapes and apples, but more importantly it is a play of light in yellows, light greens and oranges that is a feast for the eye. The contrasting dark background and the contrast of the smooth grapes and apples against the rough cloth they lie on is very pleasing scene for any room.
There are several seascapes available, most notably a scene of bright evening sun on waders in the shallow water of the beach, with tall condos and hotels in the background. Since the artist is from Clearwater, Florida, one assumes this is Clearwater Beach, but it could be any of many Gulf beaches. The scene evokes a sort of peace and joy.
One painting is most obviously Clearwater. The light of a beautiful Clearwater morning sky leaves the old drawbridge and causeway to Clearwater Beach in blue shadow while the water reflects bright light and colors.
Now that Rosenthal's paintings are available in easily affordable giclees, you may want to purchase more than one for your walls. Any of them would be a fine addition to home or office.
