Travel with Stefan, in first class, through his exciting collection of outdoor painting and see Americas National Parks through his eyes. The "Direct from Nature" collection allows
you set out on an adventure every time you purchase an outdoor
painting. You will recognize the benefits of being a Fine Art
Collector. The set of 12 smaller and looser location paintings
in this collection will be limited editions, and will not be re-issued.
Start collecting now, and you will receive the first in a series
of paintings created on location from nature entitled "Vernal
Falls". This magnificent vista, located just up from the
Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park, is only one of the
magnificent places that Baumann has captured on canvas while starring
in his American Public Television series, THE GRAND VIEW. Continue
adding to the collection as Baumann travels through America's
National Parks, and soon, your collection of art will grow into
a splendid visual experience of some of America's fascinating
and splendid vistas. |

Unlike other editions, this collection was painted as a set; a grouping of the American Experience caught by the artist, but completed on larger canvases in the studio. Each work is a symphony(opus) intended to complement each other to create a theme, and like a symphony, each opus illustrates the composer's emotions that varies the tone to complement the vision of the experience. The "American Experience" is part of the touring collection that is traveling to museums and galleries throughout America. These paintings are limited, and when sold out, will surely be sought out by collectors wishing to complete their collection. |

The term "limited edition" means that the artist has chosen to restrict the number of copies made of a painting. Each print is produced to a high quality and approved by the artist, who individually numbers and signs each one. A certificate of authenticity is supplied and should remain with the picture when it is sold. This is the history of the print from the time it leaves the Artist, listing all of its owners, dates of sale, and any other relevant facts. The length of the "print run" is important; the larger the run, the more copies available in the market place. Reducing the number of prints of a limited edition lends exclusivity which should be reflected in the value. The Fine Art Trade Guild states that a limited edition should be no more than 1,950 copies, therefore the smaller the run, the better! |

| Collecting Art Prints It must be really wonderful to collect Masterpieces and Original Art. Perhaps that was part of the attraction to the exhibitions - 'to want what you can't have'. Thankfully that is not the case. OK, we may not be able to buy an original Monet, but we could buy new, original Artworks. These can be sourced from the Artists, local Art Societies, Art College Exhibitions, and the Internet. Art is obviously a very subjective and personal affair, but the fun of collecting a particular Artist or style is very satisfying, and who knows, you may be collecting a 'Monet' of the future!! |
