Description
Mac the St. Bernard was a gorgeous dog whose snap shots I received by his owner for a painting. The scenery is imaginary. A wonderful creature, looks warm in heart and nature.

This is a digital hand painting with heavy textures. The benefit of buying a digital painting is that when canvas paint is presented on Fine Art America, it is only a photograph of the art. When it is digital painting, you get the actual original digital image with its textures well pronounced. In canvas art photographs the textures are flattened out completely so you end up with flat art for both touch and look. With digital art the print retains the textured look no matter what it is printed on.
Digital art is also safer to the artist and the buyer since oils release toxic fumes, particularly as the colors are mixed. The thinner is also toxic. There is nothing toxic about a digital painting. :) Enjoy!
Because it is heavily textures in the face and the flowers and to some degree in the background, I recommend the purchase of canvas print or canvas wrap. With canvas wrap there is no need to frame since canvas wrap comes with a hangup attachment on the back. If paper is preferred, I recommend matte finish, except for greeting cards. For paper I recommend picture rag, archival matte paper, or watercolor paper. I do not recommend metal or acrylic because they both are very glossy and flat. The most ideal is canvas.
