Cloudery is now selling a color version of Small Forest, an 8 x 10 giclee print in greens, brown and lavender, in the Etsy shop — $7 from each print (50% of the proceeds) will go to Hope For Haiti Now. The image size is just under 5 x 5 inches on the 8 x 10 page. The original is black and white, and done in pen & ink.

Professionally printed by Wall Blank (who has generously donated part of the printing fee to the cause) on Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper, 100% Cotton Rag, Acid Free Base, 260gsm (lightfastness rated at 61 years). The paper is heavy with a slight texture, much like the watercolor paper the original is drawn on; the colors are lush; this is a beautiful reproduction.
