Brilliant Art Prints Publishes New California Vineyard Images

The exclusive source for limited-edition prints by California landscape painter Dan Cooper announces the release of two new giclee prints, "Vineyard Vibes" and "Afternoon Light." These evocative images capture the special beauty of California's wine regions.

(PRWEB) October 21, 2004 -- In "Vineyard Vibes," we are swept in by geometric perspective as the young vines run over undulating hills. Bright sun throws shadows on the red earth, oak trees dot the ridges, and distant mountains fade to blue. Everything's vibrating as the grapes begin to ripen.

"Afternoon Light" shows shadows creeping across hillside vineyards as a rippling brightness streaks through the dry grass. Rows of maturing grapevines rise over the crest and reappear in the distance to catch the last warm rays before the cooling of night. To view either of these lovely images, go to http://www.brilliantartprints.com/subjectpages/vineyards.html

Giclee ("zhee-clay," a French term meaning 'spray of ink') prints utilize the newest state-of-the-art digital technology to reproduce the color and detail of an original artwork. A computer-controlled device sprays archival inks slowly onto heavy cotton rag paper producing an astonishing depth and immediacy far superior to traditional poster-style prints. Each giclee print is closely supervised, proofed, signed and numbered by the artist, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Dan Cooper is an internationally-acclaimed artist whose work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad for twenty-five years. His paintings and giclee prints grace many private and corporate collections, including AT&T, Merrill Lynch, and Wells Fargo Bank. His work was praised in Art Pictorial Magazine (Tokyo) as "meticulous, pristine and masterful craftsmanship that communicates a deep love of the subjects chosen." His "meta-realist" style is appreciated for its blend of strong composition and luminous color that reveals influences from Claude Monet to Andrew Wyeth. Cooper was educated at Harvard University, majoring in Fine Arts, and studied at the Art Students' League and the Boston Museum School. He lives in Northern California.

Brilliant Art Prints is dedicated to bringing the artistic vision of Dan Cooper to the world through giclee prints.
