This original Galway canvas print features a little Irish boat on the river shore. This is based on a photo I took on a sunny winter day during my stay in Galway some years ago. With Galway on the seaside and with the River Corrib running through to the bay, I spent a lot of time on the waterside. I felt called there but I was rarely alone so I suspect most feel that way. On this particular sunny day the cloud streaked blue skies were deeply reflected in the River Corrib. It was such a striking contrast to the orange/yellow reeds on the river shore. And then I spotted this little Irish boat resting on the bank. It didn't look like it had been used recently but during my time in Galway I saw kayakers out on the river so I can only say those particular Irish people were made of sterner stuff than I am! Whatever the case, my impression of this boat was that it was patiently waiting for the spring/summer to return once more. But it was basking in the sun for sure. This is one of those scenic views of Ireland that makes me smile every time. The cheerful colors are warming and it reminds me how much I liked Galway, a city with a view.
What attracts you to this particular Galway canvas print? Is your interest related to Galway or simply the colors and general subject matter of the little Irish boat on the river shore? I hope you might share your thoughts about it.

Canvas Prints - Product Information
Stretched canvas prints are a great choice for decorating your home or office. Canvas art is a classic choice that is at home in traditional and modern decor alike.
After the purchase of your canvas print, it is made to your order. The artwork is printed on an acid-free poly/cotton blend canvas. The use of archival inks and substrate means that your canvas art print should last a lifetime without fading or loss of color.
When ordering your print, you have a choice between glossy and matte finishes. While I ordinarily love matte finishes on prints, I do like the sheen that comes on glossy canvas prints. Ultimately I would suggest letting the amount of light in your space guide your choice. In a brightly lit environment, I would lean towards a matte finish to reduce the chance of glare.
There are three wrap styles to choose from for canvas prints. The mirrored wrap choice mirrors and extends the image to the sides of the canvas wrap (without losing any of the original artwork on the front). The majority of the time I would suggest this is the best choice. The other two options are a solid black wrap or white wrap. You can see a preview of each option when selecting wrap color.
After printing, the canvas is stretched over and secured to a wooden frame of 1.5" by 1.5" stretcher bars. The entire production process takes from 10 to 15 business days. Your artwork will arrive in sturdy packaging. The hanging wire will be attached and all hardware necessary to hang your canvas print will be included. Canvas prints are a great ready-to-hang option.
