How is the frame constructed for this 70x100 cm print?
The frame is crafted from premium, responsibly sourced black oak and ash. It features a robust 20mm profile, offering greater structural integrity and a more sophisticated aesthetic than the thinner frames typically found in retail galleries.

Is this art reproduction sustainable?
At RedKalion, we prioritize the environment. We use FSC-certified paper and wood or equivalent sustainable materials, ensuring that your fine art investment supports responsible forestry and ethical manufacturing processes.
How does the plexiglass compare to standard glass?
Our shatterproof plexiglass is chosen for its superior clarity and safety. It protects the 250 gsm paper from dust and damage while being more resistant to impact than traditional glass, making it ideal for large-format displays.
What is the significance of 'Base of Falls' in Neil Welliver’s career?
Painted in 1989, this piece represents Welliver's peak mastery of the Maine landscape. It showcases his 'wet-on-wet' technique and his ability to capture the complex reflections and transparency of water without relying on traditional perspective.
Why did Neil Welliver choose the Maine wilderness as his primary subject?
Welliver sought to capture the 'deep woods' of Maine to explore the complexity of nature. He often hiked miles into the wilderness to create plein-air sketches, which were later translated into these iconic, large-scale immersive paintings.
