noah's ark — two of each

Two of each, walking up the dune. Elephants at the front, kangaroos and tortoises bringing up the rear, flamingos somewhere in the middle, and the ark waiting on the ridge under a big pale sky. Painted in soft pastels, sand, sage, dusty blue and warm grey, so it belongs in a nursery without shouting. Detailed enough that a child finds something new in it every week, quiet enough that you don't mind looking at it for years. The print Choose paper or canvas at checkout. Paper comes in three sizes; canvas comes in five, priced by size. Paper. Giclée on heavyweight matte art paper with archival pigment inks. Matte, so there's no glare from the nursery lamp. Ships unframed, rolled in a rigid tube. Canvas. The same giclée printed on cotton canvas, gallery-wrapped over a solid wood stretcher frame. Arrives ready to hang, with no glass over it. Every size is a standard 3:2 proportion, which is what the artwork is painted at, so nothing is cropped and the paper print fits an off-the-shelf frame. Sizes 12" × 8" (30 × 20 cm). Canvas only. A bedside wall or a bookshelf. 18" × 12" (46 × 30 cm). Above a changing table or a low shelf. 24" × 16" (61 × 41 cm). Canvas only. Above a dresser. 27" × 18" (69 × 46 cm). Paper only.
