Photographing the sandbanks of the river near Derby, Western Australia, from above was an extraordinary experience that left me in awe of the natural world's ability to create astonishing artistry. The riverbanks, resembling fiery flames in the harsh Australian sunlight, beckoned me to capture their otherworldly beauty from an aerial perspective.

I had embarked on a helicopter ride, my camera ready to document this unique and mesmerizing landscape. As we soared above the river, I marveled at the intricate patterns etched into the sandbanks by the ebb and flow of water over countless years. The contrast between the scorching, sunlit sand and the cool, shadowy waters was a sight to behold.

The sandbanks, sculpted by the forces of nature, bore an uncanny resemblance to flickering flames. The undulating curves and intricate patterns seemed to dance with the wind, creating a visual symphony of light and shadow. From the air, the riverbanks appeared as though they were ablaze with an otherworldly fire, a phenomenon that left me captivated.

As I focused on capturing this surreal landscape, I knew that each photograph was a fleeting moment in time. The play of light and shadow, the interplay of colors, and the intricate patterns of the sandbanks were ever-changing. I wanted to preserve this ephemeral beauty and share it with the world.

The helicopter's altitude allowed me to explore the landscape from various angles. I tilted my camera to capture the undulating sandbanks and the river's sinuous path, as if following the course of nature's own fiery dance. The photographs I took were a testament to the ever-evolving masterpiece of the Australian wilderness.

The sense of isolation in this remote corner of Western Australia added to the ethereal quality of the scene. There were no signs of human presence, just the river winding its way through the untamed land, with the fiery sandbanks as its centerpiece. It was a moment of communion with nature, a chance to witness its raw and unfiltered beauty.

As the helicopter began its descent, I reflected on the incredible experience I had just been a part of. Photographing the sandbanks of the river, which looked like flames from above, had been a surreal and mesmerizing adventure. The images I captured were a testament to the boundless creativity of the natural world, and a reminder that even the most unexpected landscapes could be transformed into breathtaking works of art when viewed from a different perspective.

FINISH GUIDE

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

If you're after more information on choosing the right artwork for your home, see our Artwork Buying Guide below.

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.

+ ARTWORK BUYING GUIDE

If you need some expert advice on choosing the right art for your home or office, check out our comprehensive Art Buying Guide below. Buying art can be a challenging decision.

◦ Will it look any good?
◦ Have I chosen the right size?
◦ Will my friends like it?

Luckily we've had many years experience selling artwork and can help you with this important decision. Customers come to us for one of two reasons:

1. They have blank walls that need to be filled.
2. They are looking for a particular artwork for their home.

Whatever your motivation is for purchasing artwork, we love helping you in finding the right artwork for you. Let's tackle each reason in detail:

1. BLANK WALLS NEED TO BE FILLED

If artwork is purchased to fill your walls, choosing based on the style and colour scheme is a great place to start. What is the style of your home? Is it Hamptons? Modern? Classic? This will determine the style of the artwork and medium it is presented on. For example, a Hamptons style home needs a beach scene presented in a white shadow box frame. A metal or acrylic artwork will suit a modern home that is light-filled with big white walls. What colour is your furniture? The flooring? The colour of your walls? Many homes these days have neutral tones and timber flooring, therefore the raw oak shadow box frames work very well - and our most popular selling frame. Is your home light-filled or darker? A darker style of home may need a brighter image to be seen.

◦ Entrance - this should be a statement piece that has the WOW factor when anyone visits your home. Our 150 x 100cms artworks work well in an entrance.
◦ Living Room - an artwork that evokes a sense of family and belonging works well in a living room. Our 150 x 100cms artworks work well in an Living Room.
◦ Bedrooms - being a personal space, an artwork that has meaning to you is important. Our 100 x 75cms or 150 x 100cms work well depending on the size of the walls (see the section below on PRINT SIZES).
◦ Hallway - if the artwork is going in your hallway, make sure the artwork is not too large. Otherwise you won't be able to stand back far enough to appreciate the artwork. Our 60 x 40cms are perfect for this. A large vertical artwork is perfect at the end of the hallway to draw your eye in. Our 100 x 75cms and 150 x 100cms artworks work well in this space.

This artwork sits in the family room over the main couch opposite the TV (Kings Canyon Sunset, NT - 200cms Acrylic Print).

2. PARTICULAR ARTWORK FOR YOUR HOME

Card image cap Our customers also choose their artwork because they have a particular piece in mind. They may have fond memories of a holiday location or a place they grew up in. They may live in a fabulous area and want to show it off in their home. In that case, we direct them towards the many locations we have in our catalogue from across Australia. For example, we sell many artworks to homeowners on the Mornington Peninsula because they love where they live and have often grow up here also. Sometimes they're after a certain style, such as an autumn scene or snow scene. We have a range of themes to choose from on the website.

This artwork was chosen because of the time the owners have spent up in Bright, Victoria, where the photograph was taken (Autumn Colours, VIC - 150cms high Metal Print). In any case, if you're choosing a particular artwork for your home, we feel it's important that you connect with the artwork emotionally. Many of the artworks I've chosen for my own home are ones that I've fallen in love with the moment I saw them. Yes, it was love at first sight! I'd like to think that if you love it the first time you see it, you're only going to love it more in years to come! A treasured artwork should keep giving to you as the years pass. You come to appreciate it more. You realise the more you look at it, the more you see in it. What it gives you has you feel a sense of fulfilment and enjoyment in the right purchase you've made.

3. PRINT SIZES

Your artwork size depends mainly on the size of the wall your placing it on. As a general rule, the artwork should take up approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of the wall space width. For example, a 3m wide wall should have a 1.5m to 2m wide artwork to fill that space. Any smaller and the artwork will get lost. Here's a guide for the more popular spaces in your home:

◦ Entrance - 100 x 75cms or larger, depending on the space.
◦ Living Room - 150cms wide for a 2 seater couch; 150cms plus for a 3 seater couch.
◦ Bedrooms - 150cms wide for above a queen-sized bed or other wall.
◦ Hallway - 60 x 40cms for narrow hallways; 100 x 75cms or larger for the end of a hallway.
◦ Study - 60 x 40cms or larger

If you like, send us a photo of your wall from a variety of angles, and we can place your favourite artwork from our selection onto your wall. Our customers love this service as they get a great feel for the size and feel of the artwork in their home before they make their purchase decision. Check out our Print Size Comparison photos below that shows our more popular sizes above two couches to give you a feel for what looks good.
