JUST ADDED - READY TO HANG GALLERY WRAPPED CANVAS GICLEE PRINTS. Choose between black sides or the painting continued around sides, I 1/2 inch gallery depth cradled panel with hanging hardware ready to hang.

I was inspired to paint this typical Puerto Rican Musical Instruments set up in homage to typical vintage Puerto Rican Christmas Cards. Nothing says Christmas better than authentic Plena y bomba music. These typical Instruments are fundamental to the musical culture of Puerto Rico especially at Christmas and especially during a Parranda. Notice the hand-carved sculpture of three kings on horseback another typical Christmas icon in Puerto Rico and other cultures.

For make print life display prints under glass or UV filter. Pigment inks such as DURABrite Ultra consist of pigment particles suspended in the ink. 

Epson’s DURABrite Ultra pigment ink uses an exclusive Microencapsulation technology where each pigment particle is encased in a resin. A unique polymer pulls the particles apart, so they are suspended in the solution and never coagulate.  DURABrite Ultra ink uses a specific technology to control the penetration level of the ink and keep the colorant near the surface and a special formula that creates more Vibrant & bright colored prints.n
