"Portland Head Lighthouse" Sally Caldwell Fisher Fine Art Giclee Canvas

Description: Sally Caldwell Fisher"I was born in 1951, in Philadelphia. My sisters and brothers and I grew up in Birmingham, Michigan. Our mother was a gifted watercolorist who provided us with good art supplies, for which I will always thank her."I majored in English at the University of Michigan. I think it was my passion for literature and raw love of art which led me to develop a narrative painting style. Over the years, my style has evolved consistently, as I have evolved. Change and openness are essential to the creative spirit. I can never adequately describe my art, as it defies easy categorization. Much of it has reflected coastal New England life with an emphasis on the marine. All my time spent on the water with my family has deeply affected my work."I never tire of probing into the past for inspiration. My love for the artless self-composition of interacting figures and human body language has always lent a light-hearted humor to the paintings. I feel a genuine affection for the people I invite into the paintings, people who are simply part of the composition, going about their business unaware, as if in snapshots."Now, in midlife, I am returning more to landscape out of love for the beauty of the world around me. The human presence is, of course, always implied at the very least. I desire to be a strong unseen presence, involved in the scene before me. Still, never far from the whimsical, I love to paint animals and objects and people. I am more interested in being eclectic than in being easily categorized. I am no classical artist. I am a painter whose work is her greatest source of well-being."The art of Sally Caldwell Fisher has been featured in such distinguished publications as Yankee Magazine, American Artist, and Décor. Her paintings are included in prestigious collections around the world, from The Smithsonian to Tokyo. Several of her images are currently available as Greenwich Workshop Fine Art Limited Editions. "Portland Head Lighthouse" Sally Caldwell Fisher Limited Edition Fine Art Giclee Canvas Maine is home to many of the nation’s oldest lighthouses. One of the most picturesque is Cape Elizabeth’s magnificent 200-year-old Portland Head. The rich and colorful history of this 72-foot tower makes it one of the country’s most photographed lighthouses.At the urging of George Washington, the federal government took over the construction and operation of lighthouses and the first Congress of the newborn country appropriated $1500 to complete the building of Portland Head Light. With this authorization, Portland Head Light was the second lighthouse to be commissioned by the new government and first shone its light on January 10, 1791.Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow would sit on the rocks on the south side of the beacon and write, exploiting the point’s serenity. Today the isolated spot where Longfellow penned his famous lighthouse poem is one of Maine’s most popular tourist attractions. 23" by 18" Giclee Canvas, edition size 50, signed by the artist All Limited Edition prints are signed and numbered (S/N) by the artist. Limited Edition prints are restricted to a certain number. For example, if 400 prints are made from an original painting, once they’re gone, that’s it. There is no limit to the number of open edition prints of a particular painting. That’s why Limited Edition prints are more expensive — and more valuable to collectors — than "open" edition. Rare objects are more valuable. The term "giclee" denotes an elevation in printmaking technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction. The quality of the giclee print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.
