The 'Open Edition Artist's Prints' are produced by myself 'on demand' using my professional Epson Stylus Pro 7880 wide format printer on the highest quality Epson 350gsm heavyweight Premium Satin poly/cotton (65/35) water resistant art canvas at a high definition 2880 x 1440 dpi and using UV resistant 9 colour 100% pigmented inks guaranteed lightfast for 75 years. This canvas has a glossy surface and may be stretched for framing if required. I can also print on heavyweight Hahnemühle (or equal) fine art paper if required and subject to the qunatity of prints. Each print is individually reproduced, QC examined and passed by myself to authenticate its origin and verify its quality. Please see the Prints page for further details. Print prices are uniform, depending only upon size. Although all artwork is shown in my galleries in the colours created, I can produce prints in black & white should this be preferred. Please contact me for details. They are generally supplied unframed to save on shipping costs, though frames can be provided at an extra cost if required.

Description:

A classical portrait of lyrical, energetic, hard bop 'Contemporary Jazz Trumpeter' Phillip Harper performing on his trumpet in concert, produced in cooperation with Stefano Barni (Thanks Stefano).

Produced entirely in pastel, this sketch has been lightly sealed with a pastel fixative.

This traditional realism artwork was mounted and framed in a very high quality black wooden Arqadia frame using non reflective glass, as shown in the image below, hung on my office wall.

A superb modern, dramatic and large original artwork that would transform a lounge, study, office, music room, conservatory, bedroom, hall, landing or similar room and be a focal point to be proud of.

Contact myself for more information about this beautiful work of art, or if you would like to purchase a print. Obviously, the quality of the original sketch is much better than displayed here, though if you wish to make a closer inspection, please let me know of any specific area you're interested in and I'll e mail a higher resolution image to you.

Here's what a wide variety of artists thought of it on Deviant Art and Red Bubble, where you can also purchase unsigned prints, posters, postcards, mugs, t shirts, coasters, stickers and jigsaws of my artwork.
