Canvas giclées- a whole new world of imagery.
I have always felt strange about reproductions of my work, and have never done any prints of my nests or visionary realism. But with this new technology I am excited about the possibility of making them available in a very limited edition. It is astonishing how true the color and texture is.
An original is takes me many weeks to finish. Sometimes months or years as evidenced by the coral reef painting in the preceding post.
So I'm launching an archival giclée edition on canvas of a few of the nests. The editions will be of 90 and 95. I'll post a link to the new website page this weekend. Meanwhile: here
If you're interested in purchasing one of these new giclées, you can either email: liza@lizamyers.com,

Bent Bowls were ceremonial Haida bowls used for honored guests at potlatches.
I LOVE painting the stones and shells. Creating the illusion of shadow and depth, researching to be sure that the shells are accurate for the region...
A blending of mystery and science and love of those special places in the wild...
The Anna's Hummingbird is on a poured, luminescent background, using a photo of Pete's for reference, A challenge to integrate the background with the imagery but I think it works well, especially with the hydrangea
blossoms.
Just sent 8 new paintings off with Tad Merrick, friend and photographer for the record keeping process: slides, transparencies and digital. Later today I pick them up, Jim & I will pack them and they will be shipped to Washington State for the Bellevue Art Museum Artsfair.
