Orotones
are black and white images on glass that were made famous by Edward
Sheriff Curtis before 1925. Curtis made them on sensitized glass plates
and coated the back with banana oil and bronzing solution. They are
some of his most sought after images usually costing way into the thousands
of dollars.
Curtis’s comment about “Cur-tones”
as he called them was as follows……..
“The ordinary print, however good, lacks depth and transparency, or more strictly
speaking, translucency. We all know how beautiful are the stones and pebbles in the
limpid
brook of the forest where the water absorbs the blue of the sky
and green of the foliage, yet when we take the same iridescent pebbles
from the water and dry them they are dull and lifeless, so it is with
the orthodox photographic print, but in the [goldtone] all the transparency
is retained and they are as full of life and sparkle as an opal.”
I
make “Goldtone prints” by spreading liquid emulsion on glass and
printing selected images in the sizes of 4x5”, 8x10” and
11x14”(See image PH-16). Each image is then backed with gold metal
leafing and coated with a varnish to protect the image and the leafing
along with being framed which is essential to protect the delicate glass
image. There are many technical difficulties involved when making these
prints but I agree with Curtis’s assessment of these spectacular
images. I am proud to now offer these prints to the public.
*All Goldtones prints are made on glass plates backed with gold metal leaf.
*All images in each size are released in an extremely limited edition. Each image is given an edition number (2/5, etc)
*All images are archivally processed similar to other Black and White prints.
*All images come framed with a certificate of authenticity describing the image making process
*All images are signed by the
artist on the back (verso) and on the COA.

Also my painting continues…..
I have found that without knowing it I have a theme that runs through most of my work. I’ve found that as I continue my search for pathways to higher consciousness one usually sees a window, door, or “pathway” to this other dimension in most of the painted images I produce.
I find it very strange that I did this without even being aware that this is what I was doing!

Reproductions
Giclee is a French word that essentially means “to spray”.
In the art world it represents a way to make quality reproduction
of original artwork. There are essentially two types of “Giclees”. Pigmented and ink.
Pigmented Giclees are usually done on canvas and have higher archival qualities.
Ink
based Giclees are done on art paper and have higher color accuracy.
*All Giclee reproduction are limited edition (99)
*Retouched Pigmented are repainted and are one of a kind at a lower cost than the original
*All Giclee’s are signed on the print or the canvas by the artist

RENT / LEASE PROGRAMS
~
PATRON PROGRAM
They work like this….
Rent/Lease allows the client to have original artwork in their home or office for a small monthly fee usually three months at a time. If leased, all payments made for the first 12 months can be applied toward the purchase price.
Rent/Lease payments are usually 2% per month of the retail purchase price. First month there is a setup fee of $30.
Most monthly fees run less than
$50/month.
PATRON PROGRAM allows the client
to participate in the career of the artist by making a $100 per month
commitment towards a new piece of artwork. The patron continues to pay
$100 per month until the purchase price is met. Each patron is
permitted and encouraged to visit Jerry’s studio (Galeria Del Valle
Escondido) and if you see any work in progress that you would like to
purchase (other than commissions). You can claim it as your future piece.
The history of Patron /Client
relationship goes back at least 800 years. Many artist were not able
to produce work on a regular basis unless the enjoyed the patronage
of others.
And so it continues…..
