Plymouth Print For Sale

original painting by area artist

11/7/03

The view of Plymouth as you drive north on I-93 is a favorite of locals and visitors alike. Coming over the rise just north of exit 24 generates a feeling of excitement — you’re almost there.
Watercolor artist and illustrator Karel Hayes has captured both the view and the emotion in "Coming Home."

Public Relations commissioned the painting as a backdrop for a story in the summer 2003 Plymouth Magazine. Now it is being made available for purchase. Giclee prints of "Coming Home" on watercolor paper are unframed and measure 10 x 22.5 inches. Limited edition prints signed by the artist are $150 and unsigned prints are $75. An order form in PDF format is available at http://www.plymouth.edu/news/newsimage/print order form.pdf . , or send an e-mail to opr@plymouth.edu.

Hayes has participated in solo, juried and invitational exhibitions throughout the United States. Her paintings have been shown at the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History, the Fine Arts Center in Taos, New Mexico, and in New York City at the Salmagundi Club, The Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club, and the National Arts Club. Locally, Hayes shows her artwork at Surroundings Gallery in Sandwich, New Hampshire. Her drawings have appeared in several magazines and she has illustrated 10 books.

[Ed. note: The term giclee (pronounced zhee-clay) print typically connotes a certain elevation in printmaking technology that enables quality fine art reproductions. Images are high resolution digital scans printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates. The giclee process is reputed to provide better color accuracy than some other means of reproduction.]
