Animal Art / Art Nouveau
Giclee Prints
Animal art and Art Nouveau giclee prints by Dee Van Houten featuring tropical birds, tropical fish, puffins, Noah's Ark, zebras, lovebirds, flamingos, other exotic animal art, and the Art Nouveau style can be purchased at Dee's online art gallery - Dee Van Houten Fine Art.
I would want to assure you that the art work on this web site is original, of very high quality, and entirely hand-painted by Dee Van Houten, the artist and designer of this web site. The limited edition giclee prints offered here are printed on high-resolution, digital inkjet printers, and the paper on which the paintings have been printed is watercolor museum, digital fine art paper.
Beautiful animal art such as tropical birds and colorful, tropical fish such as clownfish, are favorite subjects of mine, along with puffins, dolphins, elephants, flamingos, pandas, and koala bears.
Don't forget to check out my animal art Noah's Ark giclee print, which displays pairs of whimsical animals who are playfully celebrating the New Orleans Mardi Gras. You will see a giraffe playing the saxophone, while his partner smiles and gazes out over the ocean.
Turtles wearing feathers and beads, and elephants and zebras donning colorful masks, can also be seen joining in the Mardi Gras fun. This delightful print is perfect for kid's rooms or wherever you want to give a room a splash of color and cheerfulness!

Giclee Prints
Giclee, pronounced, zhee-clay or gee-clay is a French term meaning to spray or squirt. There are no visible dot screen patterns in a giclee print, which retains all of the colors and tones of the original fine art painting. The inkjet printer that a giclee print is produced from is a large format printer (not like the small desktop inkjet printers).
Images from original paintings are created from high resolution digital scans. Giclee printers use special light-fast inks, which ensure that the prints can last and stay true to color for over 25 years without noticeable fading, but you must keep them out of the sunlight to prevent fading! The painting is scanned directly on a large drum scanner suitable for flexible images (on paper that bends and not illustration board or canvas stretcher frames). If the image is too large for the scanner, a transparency must be taken of the art work and then scanned.
Archival quality pigmented inks are sprayed onto substrates such as museum quality fine art paper that is made of 100% cotton fibers. The paper is lignin-free, acid-free and chlorine-free. Other surfaces used are canvas and photo quality paper.
The life of a giclee print depends upon several things such as what type of ink is used on the substrate (watercolor paper, canvas, or quality photo papers). Other important factor's in determining the life of the giclee is the environment in which you hang it and what kind of lighting surrounds your print, for instance, florescence or natural lighting. All of these variables add to the life expectancy of the giclee print.
After the scan is created, you can order as many giclee prints as you want since it usually is not feasible to mass produce work, which can be very costly. There is no need to order hundreds or even thousands because the original image has already been scanned and saved onto the computer for future use. Additional reproductions of your digital image can be made at any time, reproduced to almost any size, and onto different types of substrates. The great advantage over off-set printing is that you do not have to keep a large inventory, just order your giclee prints as needed!
Fine art giclees are excellent quality and have long lightfast properties, which will ensure an enduring life span of the print. Giclee printing provides excellent color accuracy and is usually a much better way to reproduce fine art work.
Buying Dee's Art
I know that buying art is very personal and purchasing online from someone you don't even know can make some people very anxious. That's why I want you to feel free to call before you buy and speak to me, the artist who creates the work, so you can have your questions answered. Speaking to a real person can be much more reassuring. You can also read my testimonials from people who have bought my whimsical animal art giclee prints.
