The Limousin cow painting, "Molly." 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 Limousin cow, "Molly." There are so many of these Limousin cows here in Herefordshire where I live and this one was photographed by me in one of our neighbouring fields. This cow painting would be the perfect gift for cow lovers. CANVAS PRINTS Our Limousin cow 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 Limousin cow painting are 11 x 14 inches. If you'd like a paper print of my Limousin cow 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 painting can be seen in the last of the above photographs. Please note that it is notoriously difficult to photograph blue and the blue in this last photograph is showing as brighter than it actually is. It is painted in oils onto canvas board. The picture measures 20 x 20 inches. My signature will be in the bottom right hand corner and it will be varnished in a subtle gloss varnish. It will need a frame, although I can add two hanging hooks on the back for temporary hanging if you'd like. Just ask me.
