This reproduction print of an original oil painting is titled, "PASO ROBLES HILLS". My son Nathan and I drove up to Paso Robles to catch the most incredible art Exhibition “California Impressionists: The Masters and the Greats They Inspire” presented at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles, California in October 2019. My son said it was the best day we ever had together. The art was fabulous - 41 contemporary artists were invited to paint a work inspired by a historical master impressionist. The masters paintings were loaned to the gallery and hung next to the contemporary artists new inspired painting. Priceless experience.

The drive up through the hills talking and photographing the hills was magical. I painted this quick oil painting from photos I took that very special day.

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.
