I was honored to join with 55 artists whose paintings were selected for “The 15th Annual Art About Agriculture Exhibition at the magnificent Santa Paula Art Museum which opened November 11, 2023 and closed March 6, 2024. The original Painting is available at the museum.  Although I finished the original oil painting in Sept 2023, I took the reference photo the day after Christmas in 2019, from up on Hospital Hill in Santa Paula. Tha moring the clouds lifted revealing an incredible sight: the peak adorned, freshly I covered in thick white snow. The mixture of cool colors and shadows with the warm sunlit colors on the slopes intrigued me as I played with overlapping shapes, values, color and form. The beauty of the mountain with highland orchards nestled in the foothills with swirling organic rhythms and vibrations inspired this modern abstract yet representational landscape.

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.
