To order available reproductions please use contact info. Subject to certain restrictions, there are four hand-embellished reproductions of each original painting available for sale. The four hand-embellished authenticated Giclee ('Zeeclay') reproductions (www.digitalfineart.com), are made to canvas at any requested size (max 5ft x 10ft, min 12"x16").
I authenticate each reproduction with surface glazing adjustments, a finish coat, a new signature and thumbprint. Two of the reproductions may go to local charity auctions. The artist holds one and last is for private sale by a gallery or by the artist. Reproductions are beneficial to the owner of the original painting because the additional exposure of the image to the public increases the value of the original painting. The Artist benefits from the notoriety of the public exposure and the sale of the last copy, subsidizes the expense of the original painting. There can be no further hand-embellished authenticated reproductions made by the artist. The owner may create reproductions for their own use but not for resale.

Process of reproduction.
* A professional arts photographer (weekesphoto@telus.net) takes a (4"x5"inch) slide transparency of the original painting.

* A digital specialist scans the (4"x5") slide transparency to make a digital format file. The scan specialist then adjusts the file to match the original colour, tone and hue of the (4"x5"inch) slide transparency.

* The digital format file along with the original painting is then taken to a reproduction specialist (artisan@wadecanada.com). The digital file is then recalibrated even further by running varied test prints until the complete balance of print to original painting is achieved. This image is then reproduced on to canvas, remounted on to stretcher bars and given a protective coating.

* The reproduction and original painting are then taken to the artist studio where the artist repaints the transparent colours and details on the reproduction followed by a final glaze coating to reestablish the saturation and resonance of the original painting. I also roll my thumbprint into the wet glaze layer, before it dries, to ensure complete authenticity.

* The signature is then repainted and an additional term of "(1 of 4), (2 of 4,) etc" - depending on the copy number, 4 being the limit - is added to the front and rear of the canvas.

The cost of the reproduction is estimated by dividing the original value of the painting by four, with adjustments depending on the size of the reproduction. Due to the limit on the number of reproductions, their value will increase along with the value of the original painting.
