Jonathan Viner has added a new print to his online shop. The print is 10.5″ x 10.5″ on 12″ x 12″ on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, signed and numbered in an edition of 20. The print is covered with three coats of matte varnish, “increasing its durability as well as the intensity and depth of colors.” This is one of Jonathan’s more affordable prints at only $90. I love this image, not only it is a great size but the feel and layout the painting has is amazing. I love her expression.

The show reception is on that Saturday and while Andrew will be present at the reception from 7-11pm, he will also be at the gallery that Friday for a “casual q&a” session. So if your around make sure you stop by for both nights.

The show is online to view and it looks amazing. I really dig the variety of mediums that Andrew has in the show, as well as the price range. There is something there for everyone. Here is just a preview of some of the works, visit the gallery for the full show.
