"Jody's Woodland"
©2016, 30" by 11", Watercolour
My friend Jody Heath is a terrific photographer. When she posted an image on Facebook of an old wagon that she'd found while walking her dog near her home in the Ottawa area, I fell in love with it immediately.
I asked her if she would mind if I interpreted it as a painting, and she agreed even though I immediately said that I wanted to make changes to her already near-perfect photo.
Jody was kind enough to return to the site and get more photographs of the wagon as well as the background around it so that I could create a panoramic version without any branches or tiny trees blocking the main subject.
I then added a split-rail fence, which was based on a photograph that I took in the north end of Peterborough, to complete the idyllic pastoral image.

Original Available
Frames
Prints
Reproductions of my art are available printed either on paper or canvas. Both formats are signed by me, the artist, and are high quality, full-colour prints of a high resolution scan or photograph of the original painting. All prints are inspected to ensure that the colours match the source and created using inks that are guaranteed to resist both fading and UV light.
Paper Reproductions
These are printed on high quality paper to give them the look and feel of the original painting. In terms of the dimensions listed, please keep in mind that they are approximate. Since I custom mat and frame the prints myself, I reproduce them at specific sizes so that when they are matted to standard matting dimensions, the mat-board borders are consistent widths on all sides. It’s because of this that I highly recommend that you upgrade to the matted version (seriously, go do it now).
Now, if you've ordered a print that is not a standard sized when matted, then I highly recommend that you go back and order it in a frame. As described in the sister section Frames, I do all my own framing using reclaimed wood and am affordable.
Stretched Canvases
If you want to avoid matting and framing altogether, then I suggest that you order the canvas option. I stretch the canvases myself using reclaimed wood and, with a profile that is an inch and a half thick, the art will make a strong statement on your wall.
