A STILL LIFE
LUCKYBOY HARDLY EVER JUMPS!
Sparkle:
Cynthia's Crystal with Plate Glass Bay Window and Doilies...
... is a digital photopainting, a cyber still life, because I put so much
time and effort into refining and perfecting it. Part of the essence of art is to know when
to stop. Perfection lies in setting a limit to the refinement process or else one
will wind up "fixing what ain't broke". And Christians understand that
true perfection can be attained only by God anyway. This is why Chinese and
Japanese classical art usually contains a deliberate, or deliberately allowed,
error.
(If I used a reduced palette of, say,
only 16 colors, then I would call this a computer serigraph. The reduction in
color depth would be obvious but would still probably exceed the usual found in
traditional silkscreens.)
All my work is, and the prints I offer are, original. They are personally signed, numbered and dated like a serigraph with a
brief annotation or essay, signed and dated by me, included as proof of
authenticity and provenance.
Very strongly limited editions are produced in all categories of my art. Only
a grand total of 25 prints of all sizes will ever be made of this particular digital photopainting
or any of my others.
Key Attributes of this Product or Premium and Others
- My favorite, and so our primary, size fits the 18" x
12" format, is not exactly this size, but needs to be matted to a custom
frame, which will therefore be larger. Large and custom sizes available up to jumbo poster size and beyond
and
on many media substrates. Unframed standard sizes available on request.
-
- Color Depth is 16 million
-
-
- Signed and dated by Gary Kent with a framed or FRAMABLE annotation or brief essay, also signed
and dated to help prove authenticity and provenance.
-
- Pixel depth is way way large enough to display
absolutely no pixelation whatsoever to the naked eye. I use an exclusive
process for computer rendition of my art that I call my electronic Swiss
Army Knife of a
combined developer, enlarger, pen and paintbrush. Like that Swiss Army Knife, I can do
anything with it that can possibly be imagined. It is an unique combination
of sophisticated software programs, because no one commercial program can do
it all.
-
- Always printed on highest quality photopaper
and surface coated to prevent fading it should last indefinitely with proper
care. Other media substrates are available on request. Please adjust your
donation accordingly.
-
- Total Edition Size: 25 -
That is, only a grand total of 25 of these prints will ever be produced and distributed in
all
sizes, see the breakdown in the table below.
-
- You give the size specifications that you want.
Standard frame sizes on request but a desired matte border width should be
considered in all cases. Custom and standard sizes should be capable of retaining
image
proportions, but I will distort these prints slightly, but reluctantly, for
a good reason. Just Talk to me.
-
- It is assumed that these prints will be
framed and matted somehow at some time. So the rough size format does
not necessarily include the matte and frame, of course. I like to specify exact sizes
so that dimensions come out to the nearest 1/4 of an inch because I hate to
have to calculate insignificant fractions like 1/8 ths and 1/32 nds and 1/64
ths in print size, matte dimensions and frame specifications. Remember that
print dimensions include twice the matte overlap margin and the matte border
widths need to multiplied by two to attain the overall dimension and matte
dimensions also
need to have two times the frame lip width considered
-
- .................It's just easier to let me
decide.................... just give me rough
dimensions and a general description as to surrounding colors like a wall,
carpet or ceiling hue or dominant hue of major furniture or upholstery and a
general preference as to desired frame style (modern, art neuveau, bau haus,
Scandinavian, shiny modern metal, classical like Baroque or Rococo, etc.) and whether you want a
matching color scheme or a complementary one. Matching blends in while
complementary accentuates. The matte and frame, however should coordinate
with the picture and the picture should be selected with all these factors
considered. I prefer to decide these matters based on your descriptions
because I want to assure that my work is displayed well. Frames and mattes are a part of my art.
-
- Filet, complex or compound multilayered mattes should
increase the suggested donation. Just state an overall or general preference
and let me decide. I am a vertically integrated artist.

Total edition size, of any dimension,
not to exceed 25.
Prints are signed, dated and
numbered like a serigraph (silkscreen) with a
short philosophical inspirational description of
the work by the artist included.
"Roughly" usually means the maximum proportional size that will fit the
format considering the need for margins, including or excluding desired matte
border widths. Please specify whether to include a matte border width or not and
if so, what width. If I make the matte and do the framing, of course, this is
not necessary.

GAK's FOTOTHING
Go
to any exemplar page and use the form there to specify a picture, its size,
whether it is to be framed and/or matted and note its price according to the guidelines given
there. Remember the picture's title or its number in either type of slideshow gallery
sequence (this site's own or FothoThing). Uh oh. you might have to be able to count.
Also give a brief
description of the picture if you can, just to make sure of accuracy, using the
feedback page. Sorry about this temporary cumbersome procedure. It will be
changed. Use it and then use your credit
card with PayPal.
Be sure to use the same name
on this site's forms as you will use with
PayPal. We shall install a shopping cart ASAP.
For a limited time only, you may
select a second picture of the same size, et cetera, for no additional charge
except for a slightly increased shipping fee. We make no profit on shipping.
The slideshow galleries include
FotoThing and an in-house slideshow for each of four categories as seen on the
exemplar pages under the Products or Premiums links. There are, perhaps, a dozen dozen
pictures on this site.
But you can ask for hundreds more in each of over a
eight
more categories. LoneTree can mail or email pages and pages of contact prints,
which are like thumbnail pictures, in about any nature, landscape or wildlife
category you can think of including Cityscapes, Architecture, Old houses &
Barns, Antennae/Grain Elevators/Power Towers & Substations, and
Planes/Trains/Automobiles as these are "works of Man" as a part of Nature.
LoneTree's prints are always in limited editions
(25 or less) regardless of format (size and other parameters). They are always
signed by me (or any other artist that we may sponsor) and dated with the
edition limit stated in order to make this a true investment for you. LoneTree's
Pictures will increase in value by 300% in less than 5 years.
