After being stored away for over 30 years, I am offering ROSE CABIN as a limited-edition, fine art giclée print, or as a gallery-quality canvas print. I captured this image in the 1970s along the Northern California coastline, far north of San Francisco. This is the first time it’s being seen by the public and offered for sale. continue reading >>

This is something I’ve been hounded about for quite some time, and it’s finally taken shape. Prints for purchase will now be in one place, and the print house I selected can custom-frame and ship world-wide.

This new gallery will showcase only the photographs and photo-illustrations that I currently have available for sale. My prints can be purchased without framing, but I believe you’ll see the savings and simplicity of ordering your print custom-framed, and ready-to-hang.

I will create a separate opt-in mailing list for the gallery, which will cover only information related to prints and limited-time specials on prints. The specials will only be available to those on the mailing list … so, when I have the mailing list form completed, I will announce it on this list.

The new gallery is located at: http://Gallery.Matre.com

I recently switched printing and framing fulfillment companies — from one in Seattle to a very proactive POD (print on demand) and high-quality operation, known as Fine Art America.

I call it a buyers’ gallery since a buyer has nothing to risk — if they are not happy with their purchase, they can return it within 30 days for a FULL refund — including reimbursement for shipping both ways. I know of no other POD offering such a guarantee.

With over 13,000 artists represented, I was humbled to be mentioned three times in a newsletter which seems to come out about once a year. My artist-colleague from England, Elizabeth Edwards, was also mentioned for an article she wrote.

Clicking on the FAA logo will open a window highlighting the my attributions, as well as showing (along the right side) how long the newsletter is — very long.

My FAA Gallery Store is easily found by clicking Store in the menu above. My article referred to in the newsletter is about Digitizing Paintings for Making Prints.

And Ms. Edwards’ great interview is truly worth the read.

I’m sorry, but this promotion has expired. If you would like to be notified of upcoming promotions (maybe 1-2 emails per month) I welcome you to join the First-to-Know list, in the right-hand column.

For a limited time, get 20% OFF Lar Matré prints, AND 20% off custom framing.

From now through January 5, 2009 10PM PST, receive 20% off any size of Matré prints through ImageKind, as well as 20% off the framing itself.

On each of my prints, I have chosen a size, and selected a custom mat and frame combination.  I suggest you begin by viewing my suggested framing, since it is classic gallery framing, simply, and not very expensive to begin with.  The samples at right show my suggested framing.

One thing to keep in mind, though, is that if you choose a larger or smaller print size, you will need to adjust the mat size accordingly — it will not change based on the print size.  I have included a link on most of the pages of prints, in the right hand column, helping you figure that.

But I would be more than willing to calculate it for you. Simply contacting me using the mail form under the Contact menu above, include the print name and size.  I will get back to you with the specifics.

PLEASE NOTE: The print prices have already been reduced, but you must add the Promo Code Groove20 to see the frame discount appear.

Thank you for your continued patronage.

And remember there’s always a 30-day money back guarantee

For a limited time, save 25% off “Planet Farmland” — the fine art print by Lar Matré … and get free shipping as well.

The 25% off applies only to the selected prints, and not framing. But the framing at Imagekind has been recognized for superior quality, while typically costing less than your local framing shops.  I highly recommend having Imagekind mount the print in a simple, gallery-style frame, such as the one I suggest below.

Here are the details to remember:

1. Promo code [promotion over] must be entered at checkout.
2. Promotion expires October 14, 2008 at 10pm PDT.
3. This promo cannot be combined with another promo code.
   
4. One order per customer.
5. More details available at the site.

NOTE: This promotion has expired, but there will be more. Register on my “First-to-Know” list and be notified of all future promotions. Never any spam, your privacy is assured, cancel anytime.

For a very limited period of time (in this instance, just until late tonight), I will reduce the price of this specific print by 50% … no matter what size is purchased. I can only control the price of my print, not the cost of the frames.

But what I can do is run my print specials to coincide with framing promotions. And that’s what I’m doing right now.

Until tonight ONLY, September 23 at 10PM PDT (1AM EDT), the custom framer is offering 20% off custom framing, and I’m offering 50% off The Business District (pictured above). Although we has over a million framing combinations, I prefer straight gallery framing — and that’s exactly what you see here. A black wood frame, with one off-white mat. The mat sizes I specify are wider than most people are accustomed to, but that’s what you’ll typically see in galleries. What also balances my mats are the sizes: three sides are equal (left, top, and right) but I always make the bottom mat just a bit wider.

50% off the print and 20% off custom framing — you must enter discount code FALL2008

This page will provide needed information.

Check out the Business District NOW.

I’ve added a few more prints to my Imagekind gallery store, some which have never been seen publicly before (you can click this image to see it larger).This is an example of one of those. I captured this image in January 1981, while spending about a week walking all over Manhattan, for the sole purpose of capturing the city as I saw it.This photograph was taken inside the main area of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. On display is a structure from Egypt, disassembled there stone-by-stone, then reassembled in the great room of the Met.

Please take a moment to visit my gallery at Imagekind to see my other new additions.

All who have purchased my prints from Imagekind have had nothing but praise, not only for the quality of the fine art print, but equally for the quality of the framing, as well as the extra effort taken to package it for shipping.

Everything carries a full 30-day, money-back guarantee. Today would be a great day to buy yourself a gift.
