The Arbor & the Bench

Printed on Hahnemühle’s German Etching paper - January, 2025

1 print was made

In the fall of 2023, we had 4 oak trees, each well over 100 years old, fall down. They had provided shade in our backyard.

With a now sunny backyard, we scrambled to make use of the sun.

We planted creeping jenny, moved an old bench into the light, placed an arbor around the bench with coral honeysuckle vines.

At the fence we planted Carolina Jessamin.

This has become our small meditation refuge.

It all looked so pretty that I decided to create a “painting” in honor of it.

The digital print, a .jpg, shows the image.

But the German Etching paper, allows the texture of the bench, the arbor, the fence and more to stand out.

This was printed with pigment ink on Hahnemühle German Etching paper, made from cellulose fibers meeting archival standards.

Pigment ink combined with Hahnemühle paper will last for over 100 years with UV protection.

Price includes a simple frame and Acrylic for UV protection and reduced glare.
