Chocorua Chapel Mindscape Card

Greeting card made from an original image by Wayne King Chocorua Chapel Mindscape This color montage of the Chocorua chapel in Tamworth NH includes elements of photography and watercolor painting. When I took the original image of this chapel it was getting dark and I stood and watched the changing scene as darkness descended upon the little valley at the base of the Chocorua Range in Tamworth, New Hampshire. Many of the images that I captured that evening have become images that sell regularly and well. However, nothing captured the pure simplicity of the ridge, the chapel and the road. This image is a photo montage that includes elements from 4 different images, created as a monochrome and then hand-painted with watercolors. The image is then scanned for production in a signed limited edition of only 5 images. I do not sell the base image from which the scanned output is derived because the watercolors fade too quickly and the image would loose its impact. Instead, the painted image is destroyed to protect the value of the limited edition which is produced with archival inks that are much longer-lived. Every image that I have produced in this fashion has shown very little bleaching in sunlight. Some have been on display for as long as 20 years.   This image is a digitally initialed Open Edition print providing affordable art for your home or office. The digitally initialed open edition provides you with the closest approximation of an original without the premium cost of the original.   Printed in an original edition of 5 signed images on fine art rag paper with archival inks.

King’s images are a celebration of life, blending the real and the surreal to achieve a sense of place or time that reaches beyond the moment into a dreamlike quintessentialism designed to spark an emotional response. Using digital enhancement, handcrafting, painting, and sometimes even straight photography, King seeks to take the viewer to a place that is beyond simple truth to where truth meets passion, hope and dreams.   Wayne King's Webpage: bit.ly/wdk_mindscapes    Follow Wayne King's images on Twitter: http://Twitter.com/King_Mindscapes   Mindscapes Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mindscapes-The-Images-of-Wayne-D-King/192943997410699   on.fb.me/FBMindscapes    Join our mailing list and be first to see new images and to receive special offers on cards, prints, limited editions and more! http://eepurl.com/bbOh3n   Chocorua Chapel Mindscape Edition of 5 signed originals 16x24 Printed on fine art rag paper with archival inks Created with elements of both photography and watercolor painting $695 http://bit.ly/ChocoruaChapelMDSP   Chocorua, Chapel, Montage, watercolor, painting, photo,  Mindscape, Expressionist
