“Elegant Encounter” is an impressionistic tribute to these beautiful birds who are making a comeback to their native gulf coast after near extinction. This is a fine art giclee print on archival watercolor textured paper, perfect for Lauren’s expressive paint style. All Lauren Marshall Art Prints are produced in the USA at a specialty printing studio, which provides superior fine art printing, widely known as giclee printing. Giclee printing is the highest quality, archival inkjet printing used to create digital reproductions of paintings. Because of its high quality and relative rarity, a limited edition giclee is valuable from its initial printing. But these giclee prints also become more valuable over time as the artist gains more and more recognition and the edition of the print sells out. Proudly printed in the U.S.A. Please allow 7-14 business days plus shipping (see estimate at checkout) for all fine art print deliveries. All prints are final sale as they are custom printed with love for each order. ARTIST STATEMENT:The originals are “Elegant Encounter” and “Rhapsody in Pink”18” x 24 each, acrylic on gallery wrapped canvasPainted to create a large focal point together as a diptych, but each is stunning each on their own as well.These birds, which are native to the southeast coast of the USA, were hunted almost to extinction as the fashion industry used their neon pink feathers in hats. I had never seen any in the wild here in Florida, until recently! Now they are really making a comeback and I can’t stop painting them. It’s amazing to see them each and every time- their unique bill shape and full spectrum shades of pink make everyone who see them stop, notice their beauty, smile and feel brighter- inside and out.
