This reproduction print of an original oil painting is titled, "DANCING WAVES". Abstract shapes and color, the rolling motion reveals the dance of the ocean in the morning. When I first showed it to Isabel (who was 102 at the time, the grandmother of my children) she made a motion like dancing and mimicking the wave motion with her hands, something like a hula movement. That's how I came to title it,  Dancing Waves in the Morning. (Isabel and I lived together for the last 30 years of her life) she was an angel and very supportive of everything I created. 

Provenance:  Happy to have sold the original painting to a couple of dear friends from high school that live in Ventura, California. They lost their home to the Thomas fire and I am honored they have this painting for their new home. The first painting they bought from me was burned in the fire. Thanks to Bev and Pat Gladden.

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.
