Description
"Ptarmigan"
Original painting: 9" x 12" acrylic on canvas board, 2024 (NFS)
Metal prints available in different sizes
ABOUT THE PAINTING:
I was inspired by my encounter with ptarmigan while skiing at Eaglecrest Ski Area at home in Juneau, Alaska. Ptarmigan are year-long inhabitants who spend their lives in the mountain alpine environment around Juneau. In the summer, their plumage is brown. In the winter, they have completely white plumage that makes it hard to spot in the snow. I was fortunate enough to find one.
ABOUT THE ARTIST: Alain Soltys-Gray
Born and raised in Juneau amidst glaciers and old growth forests, Alain has been inspired by the natural beauty of Southeast Alaska. From an early age, light and reflections of the rainforest caught his eye and have continued to be recurring elements in his art. Already an award-winning artist, Alain aspires to share his unique view of Alaska with you through his paintings. Alain was a valedictorian, graduating from Thunder Mountain High School in May 2022. He’s currently attending college at the Rhode Island School of Design, planning to bring what he learns back home to Alaska after he graduates. Follow him on Instagram: @alain_soltys_gray
ABOUT METAL PRINTS:
Alain’s original painting is printed on metal. MetalPrints™ represent a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, your images will take on an almost magical luminescence. The ultra-hard scratch-resistant surface is waterproof/weatherproof and can be cleaned easily - just avoid direct sunlight. Non-ammonia glass cleaner, water, or isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol can be used without harming the print surface. Use a clean, lint-free cloth to wipe off the print. No cleaners containing ammonia, abrasives, or corrosive chemicals should be used.
Each print is made with a float mount hanger so the print is ready to hang - no frame needed! These hangars are attached to the back of the print, and float the print 1/2-inch off the wall when hung.
