A Bench In West Texas
A Bench In West Texas
The Davis Mountains, located in West Texas, are one of the most prominent and scenic ranges in the state.These mountains are characterized by rugged peaks, deep canyons, and sprawling high-altitude grasslands. Rising to over 8,000 feet at their highest point, they stand in stark contrast to the surrounding desert, offering a cooler and more verdant environment. The Davis Mountains are also known for their clear, dark skies, which make the area ideal for stargazing, home to the McDonald Observatory. With a mix of desert plants, juniper woodlands, and unique geological formations, the Davis Mountains are a remote, serene destination for outdoor exploration.
Davis Mountains State Park, just outside of Fort Davis, offers visitors a stunning mix of these rugged mountains, desert landscapes, and lush valleys. The park is known for its scenic beauty, with hiking trails that provide panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and expansive desert. It is a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, featuring diverse wildlife, including deer, javelinas, and various bird species.
Atop one of the impressive panoramic vistas in the park sits this wooden bench. A picturesque spot to stop for a rest atop one of the highest scenic viewing points of the park.
TruLife Lumachrome HD Acrylic Fine Art Prints
The highest tier of fine art prints that I offer are all original photo prints residing under TruLife acrylic glass with Lumachrome HD paper. These pieces are produced using only the best materials available to provide brilliance and longevity of the prints. Lumachrome HD is a proprietary photo paper made from resin coated photo paper with a mirror smooth high gloss finish and utilizing Transparency Color Layer Technology. After creating the fine art photographic print, it is then face mounted behind a sheet of crystal clear acrylic. The TruLife acrylic provides a scratch resistant and non reflective glass surface with 99% UV protection that still displays vibrant colors. Each piece is then finished with a deluxe museum quality Roma HD backing frame.
Ultra Vibrant Acrylic Fine Art Prints
Unlike traditional acrylic, Ultra Vibrant acrylic printing utilizes a new state-of-the-art method of printing directly on the acrylic. Due to the layering of ink on the acrylic, an almost 3D rendering is produced with incredible vibrancy. By not using the TruLife acrylic and Lumachrome HD paper, we are able to provide a cost-effective print rivaling the quality of the Lumachrome prints while providing a distinctly different rendering in comparison.
Chromaluxe Aluminum Fine Art Prints
The Chromaluxe metal print option for my photographs is created by taking a thin aluminum photo panel designed by Chromaluxe and coating it with multiple specially formulated polymer layers. The polymer provides scratch, fire, fade, and water resistance to these stunning prints while also remaining lightweight. The printing process uses dye sublimation, which infuses the printing dyes directly into the metal panel, which provides archival level quality. Metal printing infuses vibrant colors with a depth that is difficult to match with traditional paper printing.
Loose Fine Art Lustre Paper Prints
For those interested in something smaller and simpler, I have available loose, unframed paper prints available. These are printed on fine art lustre paper with a semi-gloss surface that provides a pleasant depth of colors and contrast. As these prints are provided as-is, they end up being the cheapest option available, however they are not included in the limited edition count that the acrylic and aluminum prints are part of.
