The white rat painting, "Ben." ABOUT ME My name is Lizzie Beckerley from the Sulky Cow Gallery in the UK. I am a Welsh artist and my passion is painting happy, whimsical, quirky pictures, usually of animals. ABOUT THE PAINTING Here are high quality giclee canvas prints, taken from my original oil painting of my white rat painting. "Ben." I painted this adorable rat using photographs kindly supplied to me by Sian James, who has her own rats. Prior to painting this, I was very nervous of rats but by the time I had finished this painting, I felt quite differently. His little face really did make me smile. This little white rat print would make the perfect gift for any rat lover. CANVAS PRINTS Our rat canvas Giclee prints are ready to hang. You do not need to frame them. They are printed onto our quality cotton canvas. The canvas is stretched around wooden stretcher bars of 2cm depth. This "frameless" way of presenting the picture makes it look as if it is "floating" on the wall, giving it a lovely contemporary feel. They are finished in a subtle gloss varnish. The canvas prints of this rat painting are 10 x 14 inches. If you'd like a paper print of my white rat painting, please see my other listing. WHAT IS GICLEE? Giclee (pronounced je-clay) is a type of very high quality printing ink. Giclee comes from the French word "gicler" to squirt. The lightfast inks, which are acid free and lightfast, are sprayed onto the paper. It is believed that this process achieves the closest match technically possible to the original piece of artwork. Giclee prints use inkjet technology and are far more sophisticated than your normal desktop printer. Giclee prints are known for their longevity and are the choice of art galleries, museums and collectors. ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING My original oil is available and will be here in this listing soon..
