To be on the safe side we generally ship all orders with some additional white border to give you the option to keep it or remove it yourself. Some customers purchase prints to fit to standard frame sizes, and these frame sizes sometimes require no border, or can also require extra border to fill a mat board. We can only accommodate different frame sizes if you let us know before you order. If this is the case, please specify before you order if you would like a particular sized white border that is in addition to the listed print sizes and we will try to accommodate this for you. Without any special request you may receive a standard size border from us ranging anywhere from 3mm – 50mm (or possibly no border). Please note that all images in this listing are illustrative purposes only, and the images do not indicate the size of the border you will receive or give an accurate representation of their size related to objects in the images. The images also display the print itself as being adhered to the wall, and do not display any of the prints as being mounted, framed or stretched on wood bars. Note: the option ‘Canvas’ refers only to the fabric material that the artwork is printed on. The term ‘Canvas’ does not denote the print is stretched on wood bars or framed in any way. Note: The images found in this listing are for illustrative purpose only, and only give an approximation of how prints may appear on a wall give certain customisations. The images also only show the images as prints themselves unframed, and any resemblance to these prints being framed is unintentional and should not be taken as an indication of how prints will appear on a wall framed or unframed. Best Value Guarantee: We work hard to professionally restore artworks and images, making sure they are historically true to the original. Prints are sent rolled up in a packing tube and can expand or shrink slightly based on humidity levels. Prints sent rolled up will also require sometime to flatten out. Please use the provided gloves and be very careful after receiving the prints as they can scratch easily if you touch the printed surface. As mentioned already, please specify if you would like a particular size white border in addition to your print, otherwise you may receive no white border, or you may receive a standard size border from us ranging anywhere from 3mm – 50mm.

Flower Still Life by Maria van Oosterwijck, ca. 1669

William Curtis Sweet William 1787-1817

laflaneuse8: “ Elisabeth Cummings ”

Since ancient times artists have portrayed arrangements of inanimate objects. However, still-life painting turned into an independent genre until the late 16th century when Flemish and Dutch artists captured intricate compositions of everyday objects. In the early days of the art form, these scenes were used to represent prosperity and were also infused with religious

Eugène Bidau was a French painter, most notable for his still lifes. Bidau was born at La Roche-sur-Yon, Vendée in the Pays de la Loire region in western France. He studied under Baptiste-Joseph Lechat and the portrait and genre artist Léon-Désiré Alexandre (1817-86), both of whom exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris.

When the original paintings that form the foundations of André Schulze’s compositions were made, people likely had never heard of a pixel.

Shirley Trevena is a much loved mixed media artist, tutor and writer of art books. She has worked as a professional painter for 25 years having quit her job in local government in order to pursue her real passion of painting. Her works are stunning, colour filled expressions of a love of life. The exuberance that bursts out of the work is the child of a relentless curiosity to always break the rules and ignore the conventions of traditional painting. She constantly asks herself ‘what will happen if I apply the colour like this?’ or ‘what happens if I lay this colour with this colour’ and more often than not the results are exciting, distinctive, and captivating. Shirley has been a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour since 1994 and regularly exhibits at the Mall Galleries in London. She is the author of 3 best selling books: Taking Risks with Watercolour, Vibrant Watercolours and Breaking the Rules of Watercolour, and has also produced 3 DVDs ‘Taking Risks with Watercolour’, ‘My World of Watercolour‘ and ‘Breaking The Rules of Watercolour‘.

Émilie Charmy (French, 1878-1974) Pot de fleurs

Oysters, one of Manet’s earliest still lifes, was reportedly painted for his fiancée and remained with them in the family home. The painting was in the artist's studio at the time of his death, however, so this may only be a romantic fiction. Manet spent long hours in the Louvre, studying and copying the works of the past. Here, cool subdued colours recall seventeenth-century Dutch still lifes, while the simple subject and thick application of paint show the influence of the eighteenth-century French artist Chardin. The heavy yellow paint puckers in imitation of the lemons' pebbly skins, while the wet surface of the cut fruit is smooth and flat, sectioned by a few spare strokes. The oysters, plump and slick from a distance, appear upon closer inspection to be formed by a few swift undulations of a brush laden with thick paint. This work from the early 1860s reveals Manet's developing style. Sudden transitions of colour within a limited range, not a continuous and gradual modulation of tone, give shape to his objects. Each colour, each brushstroke, stands independently on the canvas; it is in our eye that they blend to create form. [National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. - Oil on canvas, 39.2 x 46.8 cm]

Albert Dürer Lucas [English painter of still-life and flowers 1828-1918]

Shirley Trevena has always tried to break the rules of conventional watercolour painting and over the years she has developed a wonderfully loose way of painting using a dynamic palette of colours. She has an international reputation and is regarded as one of Britain’s most innovative artists in the medium. She has been a member of the Royal institute of Painters in Watercolours since 1994 and is author of 3 best selling books: Taking Risks with watercolour, Vibrant Watercolours and Breaking the Rules of watercolour. Shirley Trevena. 2-clocks-the-pea-pod-man. How and when did you discover that you are an artist? When I was very young all I wanted to do was draw, but somehow my parents did not agree with me going to art school to get a formal art education and so I ended up working in an office. Was it a long way to watercolor medium or it was the love from the first sight? In the 1980’s my husband brought me a small watercolour paint box and I took to it straight away. Shirley Trevena. Blue China. Is your painting process completely intuitive? Having had no formal art training, when I first started painting it definitely was all about intuition, but the more I have learnt about putting paint down the less intuitive the work becomes. I love to work hard at experimenting and moving on to save the work from becoming stale. Shirley Trevena. Black-Gloves-Goldfish Do you use certain rules or you only “break” them? It’s hard not to hang on to your own rules, but I do like to work out of my comfort zone at times. Shirley Trevena. Dilemma Of What To Paint What is more important attitude for the artist: to know how to do or to feel that it won`t work this way? You can learn so much from your mistakes. Even though you know something may not work, it’s good to try it. Is your painting more interpretation than copying the model? The model is just information for me to interpret into my own colour and form. Shirley Trevena. Dark Vase Of Lilies What is your alarm to stop working at the painting? When do you know it is ready? When my eyes can roam around the composition and feel each part is balanced. If my eye jumps to one small part I know something is wrong. Shirley Trevena. Chateau De Castelnaud Dordogne Does your inspiration comes from a model or you get into the right mood and arrange the model for your painting? Inspiration can start anywhere. Just seeing a friend in a purple jacket sit next to a yellow cushion can make me want to use those colours in the next painting. Is there a connection between your painting approach and music? Not generally. Sometimes i get too involved in both and find it hard to separate the emotions. Shirley Trevena. Disguises In Small Houses Is there a special significance of white space always left in your painting? I love the sparkle of small white spaces. It leaves the viewer with a feeling of the picture not quite finished, rather like a drawing, a direct link to the artist. Shirley Trevena. Four Bunches Of Anemones You don`t have much of figurative painting. Do you feel more comfortable in still life? For the first 3 years of my painting life I did figure painting and then moved on to still life. I have just recently completed a few new figurative pieces. Shirley Trevena. Still Llife On C Check Cloth How do you work on composition? I do not draw out a composition on my paper before putting paint down. Sometimes I do a very small sketch. The composition just evolves. Shirley Trevena in her studio. What is more important for the artist while painting: concentration or relaxation? For me there is no such thing as relaxation. When it comes to creating a painting the concentration is intense. Shirley Trevena. Three Friends Do you teach your students some concrete rules or your aim is to make them paint how they feel? I have recently given up teaching, but when I did teach I always wanted the students to express themselves and find their own mark. You can read an article about Shirley Trevena as well as a big publication about Thomas W. Schaller inApril issue of Watercolor Artist magazine. http://www.shirleytrevena.com/

As a 'thank you' for all your good wishes, I'm sharing one of my favorite contemporary artists with you today. Kaffe Fassett (1937 - ) is a prolific, incredibly talented, American artist primarily known for his festive fabric, quilting, knitting and needlepoint designs. This chair is a work of art in itself. But if I had to choose, I'd say it is his paintings I love most, though that chair covered in his needlepoint design does take my breath away. Gorgeous Kaffe Fassett fabric design. Only one of many books devoted to Fassett's designs. To learn more about Kaffe Fassett's life and work, please use this link to his website. I've culled these examples of Kaffe Fassett's work from various online sources for our educational enlightenment.
