These beautiful miniature art prints by American artist Michael Gilger represent a skill not found in many artists in todays' culture of fast paced living, fast foods and immediate gratifiication. These colored paintings are not photos, they are images painted by Michael using colored pencils (pigment incapsulated in wax, surrounded with cedar wood). The average time on these photo-realistic paintings is between 250 to 500 hours each. Patience. Moving on now into the softer world of oil paints by Michael, a mere 8 months ago, having never experienced  the magic of softer pigments found in oils or having no formal training or education in art, Michael was and still is committed to mastering the special timeless skills of long past renaissance artists. Influenced by no one, just his passion for beauty and the love of  natures' perfection.  Michael presents to you, "Art of Cards", note cards with perfect images of his works, complete with velum insert, a white envelope for the art note card, and a self closing velum envelope for presentation.  1 in 500 cards is hand signed by Michael

Just in time for the holiday season we are pleased and proud to offer you our new line of “art.” We elves have been very busy day and night transforming Michael’s fine art pieces into beautiful white Personal Note Cards with velum between your two personal message pages. To protect and preserve these beautiful fine art note cards we have included a white envelope for the cards themselves and a self closing velum envelope presentation.
