*my photos are dark, print is most like first photo*
In having such reverence for Earth, I've wondered how we can admire it's beauty while leaving it undisturbed. I think paintings are an incredible way to do just that. That is why I was inspired to create this series of mineral paintings, and share them with the world.
This is an archival giclee print of my original watercolor painting of Rhodochrosite. Originally painted with traditional watercolor materials and techniques, this print excellently reproduces the watercolor magic with its rich tones and quality. It is printed on an archival, acid-free natural paper made of plant cellulose and cotton using premium quality pigment inks. This print won't ever fade or age.
This stunning Rhodochrosite specimen, in one of its many distinctive forms (what I call trapezoidal teardrops), hails from N'Chwaning II Mine, Kuruman, Kalahari manganese fields, South Africa. The word rhodochrosite comes from the Greek "rhodo" meaning red and "kros" meaning color. It is extremely rare to find rhodochrosite as well-formed crystals, and they are often out of reach of even the most prestigious collectors. I have memorialized this legendary piece in watercolors in hope of rhodochrosite's rare magic gracing other's lives.
Due to the organic nature of this paper, prints may have very minor variations and marks from the fiber.
8"x10" prints are sent flat, on a foam core backing board will protective covering. Turnaround is typically 1-3 days.
