New Prints Available from Artist Chuck Rosenthal

Artist Chuck Rosenthal is recognized for his masterly use of light. His striking still lifes, seascapes and landscapes would enhance any room. Many people want such a painting, but sometimes it is difficult to meet the expense of an original.

Now Mr. Rosenthal is offering the rest of us a chance to own one of his paintings by releasing some of them as giclee prints. Such high quality prints cost substantially less than originals.

A giclee is the highest quality of fine art prints you can buy. Here’s a little information on the word and the process. The word comes from a French word that means “spray.” Pronounce it “gee-clay” as it would be in French. The process used in reproduction is ink jet, but the quality results from three things – 1) care taken so that the digital image is exactly matching the original, 2) archival non-fading inks used, in 8 color cartridges and 3) printing on high quality acid-free watercolor paper or canvas.

However, since it is a reproduction, not an original, it becomes more available for the rest of us that didn’t figure in several thousand dollars in our financial planning for the purchase of artwork. Hooray!

The newly available giclees by Mr. Rosenthal include quite a few of his landscapes and seascapes and people, and also one magnificent still life. The contrasts in this painting are fascinating – the dark background for the bright orange, green and yellow apples and grapes, and the smooth fruit against the rough cloth and basket. A nice addition for any wall.

Since Mr. Rosenthal is a resident of Clearwater, Florida, one assumes that the beaches in his seascapes are nearby, but they could be any of numerous Gulf beaches. Tranquility and joy of children and their parents wading in the shallow Gulf waters, with the long shadows of the sunset stretching out behind them makes you wish to be there.

Another notable beach scene is of the old drawbridge and causeway to Clearwater Beach. The rendering of the sky in this painting is just brilliant. The artist has totally mastered the realism of a Clearwater sky.

Now that Rosenthal’s paintings are available in easily affordable giclees, you may want to purchase more than one for your walls. Any of them would be a fine addition to home or office.
