We are excited to be able to offer reproductions of Bill Chappell's paintings using the Giclée printing process.  Giclées are very high quality prints.  When printed on canvas, they look and feel very much like an original.  A canvas Giclée allows for the same type framing options as an original, since they are canvas prints on 3/4 inch stretcher board.  The inks used are archival quality, so fading is not a problem.  This process makes having an "original appearing" painting available to the public at only a fraction of the cost of the original.  It also allows us to offer some works from private collections that have never been on public display.
 
Bill was known for the vibrancy and clarity of his colors, and the Giclée prints accurately reproduce these.  However, computer monitor screen settings may not accurately display these prints.  Should you purchase a Giclee and are not pleased with the actual print, we will gladly refund your money.

Please allow two weeks for delivery.

Name: How the West Was Won (Giclee Print)
Description:

Everything cannot finish the trip. The brakes on these wagons were not great. A steep hill required dragging something (a tree) to aid the brakes to keep the driver from losing control. At times on a really steep hill, weight in the wagon had to be reduced, so some things had to be left behind.

She had hoped she would be able to keep this personal piece to start her new life, but, it had to be left behind.
