About "Golden Streams of Faith"
Image Quality Some images may appear with "color banding" or may have a "posterized" look to them depending on which Browser you're using. (Such as AOL or Netscape Browsers) However, all these prints whether on canvas or on glossy paper are photo realistic and print with smooth gradations of color. For optimim print quality these images are re-sampled in PhotoShop at a resolution of 266 ppi (pixels per inch) and printed at 1440 dpi (dot per inch). Translation: These are proven optimal settings for the best possible reproduction on paper or canvas.Broken Images Also, you may need to reload or refresh some pages so that all the images load properly. If some images appear as "broken" you can try the [Zoom +] feature to view them instead.
Free Samples If you're unsure about the quality of these prints you may request free printed samples via e-mail of the print[s] you're interested in. Sample sheets will be mailed to you free of charge within a week.
Framing As a professional custom framer, you can be sure that these unique canvas prints are framed properly and with high quality products. I use acid free matting liners that keep your print from touching the glass. Normally canvases do not require glass, however, since these are giclees and are printed with inks, protection is needed from the elements. You should avoid hanging them in bathrooms where steam and humidity is very high. They are treated and framed like paper prints and will not fade. They come ready to hang with elegant frames in either metal or wood depending on the availability.
Imprinted Products You can visit CafePress.com where I offer imprinted apparel, mugs, caps, calendars, bumper stickers and more. These products are produced by the good folks at CafePress and are very durable and of the highest quality you'll find anywhere. I've found many good prints and other accessories by artists from all over the world. You can access their site from this Homepage. A great find.

Wildhorse Art Studio As a graphic designer by trade, painting horses has always been my hobby. I painted my first oil on canvas at 14 and I've been painting horses ever since. The only difference is that most of my art is digitally enhanced by computer these days. My artwork is a combination of photography, colored pencil, and digital air-brush. I call them digital photo collages since they are composed from many different elements. I'm also planning a series of hand painted watercolor stallions that I will also feature on this website. Some of my artwork is marked with the Apricot Art Studio logo which was "Wildhorses" sister site that offered custom framing which I'm revamping at the moment. This new website now features my artwork only and is aptly named "Wildhorse Art Studio". It's nestled off a quiet corner along Spencer Trails in Middleburg where I do most of my work. I'm originally from Hoboken, NJ where I've held numerous exhibitions and studied in New York City at the School Of Visual Arts. I've recently relocated my family to sunny Florida where the weather is kinder of course and where I'm surrounded and inspired by many horses in this unique area. I do whatever I can, however big or small to help protect wildlife of any kind, especially wild horses. By investing in my artwork, you too will be helping these wonderful creatures survive in their natural habitat. The artwork featuring Biblical themes and the eBook helps spread The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for your faithful support. There are many good Organizations such as Habitat For Horses among many others that are doing great work with wild horses. For more info on this, click on the "Links | Ads" directory where you'll find many useful resources. You can also join iGive.com [Also on the Links page]. Many of the large stores such as amazon.com help support this cause with every purchase we make. It's a good deal for everyone.
About Digi-Colored Prints Digitally coloring black and white prints with special computer software is very popular these days. Unlike hand-colored prints which are manually tinted with special oil pigments, [a more expensive way to get virtually the same results] these digitally enhanced prints are very affordable and offer the same look and feel as the traditional hand-coloring methods. I really enjoy both methods, however, computers offer far more flexibility and speed.
About Canvas Giclee's Giclee [think french - pronounced gee-clay] is a fancy way of saying inkjet prints. These are very popular lately and for good reason. This medium is recognized by every major museum worldwide. They are miniature paintings and look really spectacular. The largest mini print offered here is the standard 8 X 10 size. In the near future I'll be upgrading to a larger printing format. Since these are Giclees, you can mat these prints and frame them under glass [unlike stretched canvas] and they will last a lifetime. They are a smart investment.
Large Prints My Paper Prints are only available in 8 x 10 for the moment. I do plan on offering poster sizes up to 24 x 36.
Low Prices As my artwork continues to gain popularity, it will of course increase in value as well. This is a good time to invest at these very reasonable prices. I also have very low overhead since I work out of my home studio plus I have exclusive access to a variety of wholesalers and framing suppliers. I will be posting a selection of Rustic Frames soon. They will complement these Canvas Prints perfectly. I'll continue to offer Gunmetal Frames for my Poster Prints since they look so good.
Your Satisfaction is Unconditionally Guaranteed
If for any reason you're not satisfied with your purchase and investment, you may return it for a full refund. No questions asked. I'm happy to say that you will be more than pleased once you see these works of art "in person" and will have a hard time parting with them. They are truly unique and highly collectible.Credit Card Payments Yes you can use any major credit card or debit card. I have an account with PayPal which serves as a terminal for credit card transactions. Paying this way is absolutely safe and secure. I use this system myself and it is very convenient and reliable.
Photo Retouching Yes I can retouch just about anything. Including perfect color matching, replacing missing pieces, deleting certain areas and so on. I use Photoshop Software which is the best for this type of work and reprint your photo on Premium Glossy Photo Paper at 266 ppi (pixels per inch) and 1440 dpi (dots per inch). The quality is exceptional.
"Golden Streams of Faith" This eBook is the culmination of many years of self exploration and questions of my own. It is an abridged version since the full breadth of this work is still in progress. It is of course inspired by God's divine Word. As it flowed and poured from my deepest and most personal experiences in a matter of hours. These writings are virtually unedited for the exception of several typos and chapter arrangements. I also indulge myself as a screenwriter. I'm currently experimenting with many different scripts in a variety of genres, [including comedy] yes, I do have a vivid and even dark sense of humor, although you'd never know it based on what you see here. I've been to the edge and back so many times that humor is a survival mechanism at this point in my life. I'm also a sucker for romantic movies and romantic thrillers. My 3 favorite films: "Braveheart", "The Bridges of Madison County", "Dances With Wolves". Enough said.
