Dolphin No. 1

It was a quiet fall morning in Lisbon, and I was out on an ocean trip, my last one for that visit to Portugal. We hadn’t yet seen any dolphins, but I didn’t mind - it was a beautiful morning with calm water and soft light, and just being out on the water is always a treat. We were sitting still, looking around for signs of wildlife when all of a sudden, a dolphin surfaced close to the boat, so gracefully and almost without a sound. And then another one, and another one. It was such a dream-like scene, and one of those times when I’m really torn between photographing or just observing. But of course I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures to preserve those magical moments, and this is one of them. PRINT DETAILS The image is printed on matte archival cotton rag fine art paper with a 0.5” - 2” white border (depending on image size) and is signed on the border below the image. Print sizes refer to the total paper size, including the border (e.g., a 12x16-inch print has a 11x15-inch image with 0.5-inch borders). The prints are available unframed or framed, and every order is professionally custom printed. FRAMED ART - USA & AUSTRALIA ONLY Framed prints come in a black, white, or natural wood frame with or without a white mat. The frames are handmade in the US from top-quality hardwoods and all archival materials. They are custom made to order, with beautiful spline joints and 99% UV-filtering acrylic glass. Depending on print size, the frames have a 1/2" - 1" face and 1 1/2" - 2 1/4" depth. Smaller frames are fitted with D-rings and a wire for hanging; large frames (24x32 inches and up) have a French cleat hanging system. Framed prints are currently only available in the contiguous United States and Australia. All Australian orders are printed, framed, and shipped by my lab in Adelaide. The frames at my lab in Australia are also made locally by hand from top quality materials, but some of the details are a bit different from the US frames. Please contact me if you would like more information. FRAMED ART SIZES The sizes listed are print sizes; mats and frames will add to the final size. For example, the outside dimensions of a 24x32-inch matted and framed print is 30x38 inches. Please see the image with the framed art size chart (this is a 3:4 ratio print) for all final framed dimensions.
