Welcome to Okeechobee, limited edition prints

"Welcome to Okeechobee"
Signed and numbered prints
19 x 28 inches (including the white border)

I've had a few requests for these old prints lately.  They are still available and in very good condition. The original oil painting is 3 x 4 feet and hangs in Raulerson Hospital to the right of the check-in counter.  

The prints can be seen in many businesses in town.  

I created this original collage from my own photos: the old courthouse, the livestock market, fishing on Lake Okeechobee, camping trips on the Kissimmee River, cattle ranches, rodeos, the old sign that used to greet you from all sides of our little town, the Seminole woman who wanted to pose for me, wildlife, and dairy farms! 

Each part was free-handed and took almost a year to finish. My draft was selected from several artist that put in a bid, and my projected time frame for completing it was longer than the other artists.  I was honored to win the bid!

The Brahman Bull is one of the Prescott's bulls from years ago, and the little brown calf was actually on a dairy farm with the Holstiens.  I loved it because I had never seen one that color, only tan or black and white. I get a lot of flack for including it with the dairy cows.  People say it is beef cattle, not dairy.  Maybe so, but it was in the pen with the dairy cows! Anyway, this painting holds many wonderful memories that I got to share with everyone through this painting.

​For best results these prints should be framed behind glass with acid-free mats and backing. Acid-free materials slow down the aging process, causing it to turn yellow or brown and also makes it brittle.  Mats keep the print off of the glass (which can cause moisture to ruin the image).  Also, prints should never be hung near a window, as this can fade the ink much more quickly than it would normally fade.  (Unfortunately, prints do not last as long as an original painting.)

Custom framing is expensive, but it protects and preserves the photos, heirlooms, and artwork for many years. Always request acid-free materials, as some framers put cardboard backing behind the image, which speeds up the aging process.
