My son tried two different on-line services that do canvas prints of
photographs. One was terrible in terms of quality and he stopped using
them. The other company does a fantastic job and you can order frames
if desired.

Are you willing to share the name/contact info of the service that you
like?



I wish I could remember Wayne. I'll find out and advise.

He (well, "we") tried two of the many on-line services. One was much
better quality than the other ... the media they used had a smaller
grain and was slightly more glossy and although it still looks like a
painting, the image reproduced much clearer. They also offered
discounts for multiple prints which the other company did not.

I *think* we tried "Canvas on Demand" and "Easy Canvas", but I don't
remember for sure or which one we liked. I'll find out.

Here's a fairly recent pic he took that is one of my favorites.
Something about the simplicity of the setting and the shadows strike me.

Thanks, very nice. It reminds me a bit of my childhood in upstate NY
with that low, hazy winter sun in the late afternoon. Cold !!



Wayne, I checked with my wife. The service we have been very satisfied
with is "Canvas On Demand". We've had several made, some with frames.
We were very surprised and pleased with the quality of the prints *and*
the frames.

Thanks, I'll give then a try.
