Mornington Jetty Storm

Size Guide

THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTO

On a cold November day, Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula awoke to the ominous rumblings of an impending storm. The forecast had warned of turbulent weather, but no one could have predicted the ferocity with which it would strike. As the day unfolded, it became evident that this storm was unlike any other.

The Mornington Peninsula, known for its serene coastal beauty, was about to be transformed into a battleground of wind and water. The storm, driven by gusts reaching up to 110 kilometres per hour, bore down on the coastline, unleashing its fury with relentless determination. The normally tranquil Mornington Pier would soon become the epicentre of a dramatic showdown between the forces of nature.

As the tempest raged on, the inhabitants of Melbourne and the Peninsula couldn't help but be drawn to the shoreline. The gathering storm had an eerie, almost magnetic quality that compelled onlookers to witness the spectacle. The early hours of the morning found a crowd of brave souls huddled together, their faces illuminated by the sporadic flashes of lightning.

The waves, driven by the unforgiving winds, hurled themselves at the Mornington Pier with a force that sent shivers down the spines of those who watched. It was as if the sea itself had risen in rebellion, crashing against the steadfast structure, testing its resilience.

By lunchtime, the storm began to relent, and the relentless winds gradually eased. As the tempest moved on, the sky cleared, revealing a landscape profoundly altered by nature's wrath. The Peninsula, once a haven of serenity and charm, now resembled a war zone.

Large trees, which had stood tall for generations, lay strewn across roads, their roots upended by the ferocious winds. Fences that had defined boundaries and provided security now lay in disarray, blown over by the tempest's power.

The aftermath of the storm left the Peninsula with a sense of vulnerability, a stark reminder of nature's uncontested authority. It was a day etched in the collective memory of the community, a day when the ordinary transformed into the extraordinary.

In the face of such natural forces, it was impossible not to feel small and humbled. The Mornington Jetty Storm was a poignant reminder that, even in our modern world, nature could still command our attention and respect, demonstrating its might and leaving an indelible mark on the land and the people who call it home.

The storm, with its destructive power and fierce beauty, had united the community in awe and reverence for the forces that shape our world. It was a day when the Peninsula's tranquility was momentarily shattered, only to emerge stronger in the wake of nature's unforgettable display.

    To be honest, we prefer to ship artwork to you as a finished, ready-to-hang artwork (of course, rolled prints work best when ordering from outside Australia). We believe in quality, finished artwork delivered directly to your door and ready-to-hang. That's service. No more finding a framer, wondering if you’re paying too much, painfully choosing from myriad of frame options then waiting weeks for the job to be done. We use only the best quality materials to ensure your artwork will look amazing and last forever!

    FRAMED PRINTS

    We love our Framed Prints. Our stunning Deep Shadow Box Frames (with that sexy spacer between the frame and the print) are just to die for (Frame Measurements - 30mm wide by 40mm deep). The spacer allows the print to sit back from the glass, ensuring it doesn't touch and ruin your print. Offering the best in contemporary framing, your framed print will look AMAZING on your wall. Your print is printed on archival quality papers with archival inks, ensuring your print won’t fade or wrinkle. Your Tom Putt Print comes digitally signed and a small title is added to the left hand corner.

    The sizes on the website are for the OVERALL print size - which includes the frame and the digital matt (a white border is added to the print rather than a traditional matt board). We STRONGLY recommend that your artwork be supplied with special non-reflective ArtGlass or 99% UV Museum Glass which means that you can see the beautiful artwork, not the distracting reflection from normal glass. Choose from either the Raw Oak, White or Black finish to suit the style of your home. 

    * Raw Oak framing suits homes with wooden floor boards and Scandinavian style of furniture.

    * White framing suits Hamptons style of design, giving that light, beach feel.

    * Black framing suits a darken print and black and white images

    CANVAS FRAMED PRINT

    Forget what you know about canvas prints. Ours are COMPLETELY different.  We source our canvas from the best in the world. It is a 100% seeded, cotton canvas - the best quality canvas you can buy. What does this mean for you? It won't fade, wrinkle, or look horrible in years to come. In fact our canvas has a 75 year guarantee!

    Your Canvas Artwork is finished with a stunning Deep Shadow Box Frame in Raw Oak, White or Black (Frame Measurements - 10mm wide by 55mm deep).

    Canvas suits a home where you're looking for that painterly feel to the artwork. The texture in the canvas gives the impression that it is a painting rather than a stunning photograph.

    Canvas also works well to absorb any light opposite the canvas. So if you have windows opposite your artwork, order the canvas so you don't get any reflections.

    ACRYLIC FRAMELESS PRINT

    What is an Acrylic Print? Think the look of glass but it's not. It looks INCREDIBLE but it's not as heavy or dangerous as glass. It is the same look as many splash backs in kitchens. Your print is between two pieces of acrylic (approx. 5mm thick). The artwork is then hung on the wall using a baton system. Many of our buyers like this finish as it sits close to the wall. This finish suits any modern, light-filled home. Our Acrylic Prints are sure to create that WOW factor.

    METAL FRAMED PRINT

    What the heck is a Metal Print? I know, I thought the same! A Metal Print is a photographic print heat-adhered to a thin piece of aluminium, approximately 2mm thick. This keeps the print extremely flat. The print is coated with a high gloss vanish to protect it from dust, moisture, finger prints, etc. Your Metal Print has incredible impact and comes finished with a Deep Shadow Box Frame in Raw Oak, White or Black (Frame Measurements - 10mm wide by 55mm deep). This finish suits art that has punchy colours that you want to highlight in a room that has minimal reflections.

    ROLLED PRINTS

    Sometimes the simple things in life are often the best. A rolled print is ready for you to do with it what you want. All our rolled prints come with a white border to help it frame superbly. That means that you don't need to pay extra for matting when framing it. The white border is approx. 70mm wide on each side for artwork under 100cms (longest edge) and 90mm for artwork over 100cms. This white border is included in the total size of the print.
