Description
Carmel Foglia de la Pena is an artist with an extensive history. She has been painting most of her life. In 1960, Carmel had her first one-woman show. She subsequently exhibited, over a 20-year period, in the following galleries: Harcourt's in San Francisco, Shane's of Menlo Park, Erickson in Palo Alto, Cole of Concord, Masters International in Campbell, Livingston's in Monterey, and Chabot in Santa Clara. In the 1970s, Carmel started yearly invitational art shows and sales at her studio and home.
For 35 years, Carmel has taught children and adults in drawing and painting. She maintains a teaching and working studio at her self-designed residence in the hills above Almaden Valley, San Jose, California.
Special Instructions
Winner will receive a framed print as pictured here, and described below. The image size is 20 in. x 20 in. Framed size is 24 in. x 24 in.
Giclee prints are fine art prints made from a digital image with a high quality ink-jet printer. First, a digital image is made of an original painting. This image is a high resolution digital file. Then Carmel works with the printer to refine the image, if necessary, so that it is a very accurate reproduction of her original work of art. The image is then sprayed directly onto artist grade canvas by a state-of-the-art inkjet printer. Archival quality pigmented UltraChrome inks are used. Pigment inks excel in permanence. On the canvas surface, the different ink colors mix together to reproduce the colors of the original painting. This is quite different from the old fashioned lithograph type print where little dots of color formed the image.
Giclee prints on canvas look like original art you see in a museum. Framed canvas prints don't need to be covered with glass or other reflective material. This lets you see the art more clearly, without glare from a covering.
