dedicated to Major Jim Marsden, United States Air Force. He was commander and pilot of the KC-10

demonstration team in 1991. The KC-10 departed Santiago de Chile and while
climbing out against the Andes was joined by the Thunderbirds on their way to
Montevideo.
This hand-painted work of aviation art is known as a Giclée.
What is a Giclée?
Considered an original graphic, they are produced as multiples. The term originates from the French "to spray" and employs inkjet color application and digital color separation. Millions of ink particles are applied simultaneously to the cotton canvas. Flawless color reproduction and extraordinary consistency are the trademarks of this new technology and it is rapidly becoming the preferred method of fine-art print production.
After the image is printed, the canvas can be mounted on a panel or stapled to traditional stretcher bars, then displayed in a frame.
This painting on canvas is offered rolled, tied with a ribbon and shipped inside of a hard mailing tube.
Unique Characteristics of the canvas:
- Highest resolution canvas coating for outstanding reproductions
- Unique texture for true artist look
- Heavyweight for quality feel
- Acid free 100% cotton archival quality base
- 100% Duck Cotton
- Medium Gloss
Do not display the print in direct sunlight. Also, avoid high humidity and high temperature environments. Handle the prints carefully to prevent creasing or cracking. |
