The Water Tower - Ideal Georgia Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale.
This Ideal Georgia canvas print features the water tower on the corner of Hoke Smith Avenue and Brooks Road. For anyone who has been to "The Only Ideal City in Georgia," this will likely be a familiar sight. And it's true, Georgia only has one city named Ideal, nestled in rural Macon County.
Ideal came into being as a railroad town. Legend has it that it was originally called Joetown. But when two railroad executives visited one said it was an "ideal" place for a depot and the name Ideal stuck. The town of Ideal was incorporated in 1907.
Ideal is a small town but as the water tower depicted here suggests there's a well of local pride in that place. I suspect if you've found this Ideal Georgia canvas print, you've probably called Ideal home at some point or still do? I'd love to hear what this artwork means to you?

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.
