"Starting Point" - Botanical Art

Metal Prints

Metal prints are always a conversation piece. The lab uses high-heat technology to fuse your image into the eco-friendly, 100% post-consumer recycled ChromaLuxe aluminum surface for incredible visual depth and luminosity. Metal prints are available in High Gloss, Mid-Gloss, Satin, Sheer - Glossy and Sheer - Matte surfaces but I only use High Gloss. 

Each image is individually produced upon ordering. The total production time for metal prints could take up to 15 business days.

Paper prints

Paper prints, as presentation and demand as grown, I only offer metal prints directly from the website and 7X10 traditional paper print. If you prefer traditional print no offer on the website please contact Oscar for pricing via text at 773-315-6842 or via email at oscar@linaresfineart.com. Oscar offers prints with a 3-inch white mat and the image sizes are 12X18, 20X30 and 28X42.

About the image:

Starting Point is a limited edition of 250 images. 

Late in May 2014, I decided to visit the Chicago Botanic Garden before the Summer Art Fair Season started. While walking on the opposite area where The Carillon is located I noticed yellow dots over the lake. I walked closer to the edge of the lake and started taking pictures of the lake cover with a new yellow water lily. I started panning and I started noticing a blue cast but never gave another thought since most of the time you can not record that cast. To my surprise, 3 of 50 plus shots came with this intense blue cast and one of the three had great composition.
