Paper or Canvas?

Paper Print — Artwork printed onto paper. It’s flat and needs to be framed (with a mat and glass) to be displayed.

Stretched Canvas Print — Artwork printed onto canvas fabric, which is then wrapped and pulled tightly around a wooden frame. It’s three-dimensional, with the image continuing around the edges. It can hang on a wall as-is — no frame required.

Cost Difference — Paper prints are less expensive upfront, but framing costs more than a canvas print due to the addition of a mat and glass. Stretched canvas prints cost more due to the materials and labor involved. However, if you choose to frame a canvas print, the cost is less than framing a paper print because a mat and glass are not needed to protect the canvas.

Neither is inherently “better” — it really comes down to your décor style, budget, and how you want the piece to feel in the space.

Signed and Numbered Limited Edition Fine Art Print

Author John Gierach and guide, artist, and illustrator Bob White marked their 100th column together in Fly Rod & Reel’s July/October 2008 issue. Their first collaboration was in July of 1988, when Bob illustrated John’s article, “East Big Fish.”

After Lee Wulff’s tragic death in 1991, the editors at Rod & Reel asked John Gierach to write the magazine’s closing column, and Bob White was asked to illustrate it. Their first regular column together, “The Sporting Life”, was published in March of 1992. The illustration for the 100th column is a painting of John fishing his home water.

Close to Home is available as a paper reproduction or a stretched canvas reproduction.
All of our fine art prints are signed and numbered by Bob and are reproduced on archival material.
Stretched canvas reproductions are created on demand, so require an extra week for shipping.
