This reproduction print of an original oil painting was originally titled, “WHAT'S IN THE REFRIGERATOR"

This painting was second in a series I submitted to artist Lori Putnam’s art group challenge. The idea was to practice how light fractures through glass and how to “SEE” the shapes. I made the chocolate strawberry, one of Isabel’s cordial crystal glasses. I put it in the the refrigerator to keep while I was between painting sessions. I loved the juxtaposition of the shapes and colors of the Macadamia Milk carton and the light of the refrigerator coming through the wine bottle creating a vibrant green shape.

PIGMENT: We use Epson DURABrite Ultra pigment ink which has a permanence resistance rating up to 105 years as rated by Wilhelm Imagine Research a leading authority of print permanence. 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. Once applied to the paper, they will not dissolve and will not stain if they become wet. 

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. The ink base then helps the DURABrite Ultra pigment particles penetrate the paper. 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.  Conventional dye-based ink particles are absorbed into the fibers of plain paper and are soluble in water. Pigment inks come at a higher cost than dye inks but you can feel confident in your investment that will last for generations.
