This is that one-of-a-kind personalized gift; one that is gorgeous and interesting. This type of art work is actually known in the art world as a Giclee or art print, but unlike prints sold on paper or framed under glass, the larger canvas print, is actually printed on artist’s canvas.

What Type of Giclee Should You Get?
As this is a gift, you really need to be careful in choosing the right type of art work. Giclees come in all styles.

But when choosing art work for someone else, you want to stick to something safe like nature photography.
By photography, we don’t mean a simple picture of a tree. No, these are nature photographs that have been optimized and where artistry is used to make the natural aspects stand out. This makes the photographs inspire and awe, especially when printed onto these large format canvases.
An excellent example of being able to make these nature images seem even more hauntingly beautiful is when the artist turns the images to black and white and then emphasizes certain focal areas with colored brush strokes. This emphasizes the artistic quality and makes the painting stand out.
