The Siamese, British Shorthair, Scottish Fold and Maine Coon cat painting, named "Sophisiticats" 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 very own cats. Rose is the siamese cat: Toulouse the white British shorthair, Macintosh is the straight eared Scottish Fold and Mimi, the black cat is half Maine Coon. I loved painting this picture. I call it "Sophisiticats." This print would be the perfect gift for any cat lover. CANVAS PRINTS Our cats 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 cat painting are 12 x 14 inches. If you'd like a paper print of my cat 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. Please contact me if you are interested. COPYRIGHT Copyright of all pictures remain with the artist Lizzie Beckerley at LizzieComesToTown. Thank you for looking at my cat with painting.
