A1: A high quality digital copy printed on canvas or on archival paper. An enhanced giclee can have brush strokes and/or transparent colors in a gel medium overlay.

A3: I intentionally paint around the edges so that the buyer does not have to frame the original acrylic painting unless he/she just wants to. Personally I have an aversion to spending more on framing than on the artwork.

A4: The giclees on canvas have a reverse image on the sides. A person has to look VERY CLOSELY to see that it is not an actual continuation of the painting. They can be framed or not--according to your personal taste.

A5: The giclees on archival paper come with an acid-free mat and backing. You will need to purchase only the frame and the glass or plexiglass.

A6: Giclees are a great way to go if you want good art with less expense. I will give a discount to any business that purchases three or more giclees if they will be prominently displayed.
