Sandpipers No. 3

Sandpipers and their reflections at the water's edge on the beach. These little Sandpipers showed up on our beach on a quiet spring morning, making a quick stop on their way from South America to Canada. Their annual migration is truly amazing: researchers have found that they sometimes fly this route nonstop for six days - that's around 3,000 miles! They only stayed on our beach for a couple of days, but I spent a lot of time with them, trying to capture both their beauty as individuals and the abstract appearance of them as a group. My bird images are all traditional photographs, but I love the dreamlike quality of watercolors and have photographed and developed this image in such a way that it more closely resembles a watercolor painting than a photograph. 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 10x15-inch print has a 9x14-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 (24x36 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 from my lab in Adelaide. The frames at my lab in Australia are a little 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 20x30 inch matted and framed print is 27x37 inches. Please see the framed art size image here (this is a 2:3 ratio print), or the FAQs for all final framed dimensions.
