Dream Bucks III - The Midwest Monster by Larry Zach

Dream Bucks III – The Midwest Monster is finished! Larry has completed the painting after spending over a year in designing, creating, and painting. It truly is a beautiful piece of art. His heart and soul have poured into making this the best it can be.

Dream Bucks III – The Midwest Monster is the third image in the Dream Bucks series, which features some of the world’s most impressive whitetails. It follows Dream Bucks I – The Hole in the Horn Buck and Dream Bucks II – The Missing Trophy. Featured in Dream Bucks III is the huge, non-typical buck taken by Kyle Simmons on October 16, 2008 in eastern Iowa. This buck was Kyle’s first buck with a bow and was featured on the January 2009 cover of North American Whitetail magazine. Scoring 275 5/8, it is our new Iowa state record archery non-typical and the third largest non-typical whitetail in the world ever taken by bow and arrow.
New for the Dream Bucks III release, we are offering the choice of either a giclée paper or giclée canvas print in the Classic Standard Numbered (SN) and Artist Proof (AP) editions. Each print number will exist in one form or the other, but not both.

Edition                             Quantity      Image Size       Unframed Price
Master SN Giclée Canvas              100                30 x 20                    $295
Master AP Giclée Canvas              25                   30 x 20                    $365
Classic SN Canvas -or- Paper      850                 22 x 14.75              $145
Classic AP Canvas -or- Paper      125                 22 x 14.75              $175

Dream Bucks III is also available as a framed decorator or encore open edition canvas.

Open Edition                Framed Size        Framed Price
Encore Giclée Canvas            23 x 17                    $129
Decorator Giclée Canvas      17 x 14                     $89

If I’m ordering a Classic SN or AP, should I choose the paper print or canvas?
There are good reasons for either choice. Some collectors may want to order the third image in the series as a paper print to match the two previous Dream Bucks paintings already purchased. Others will choose to purchase their number as a canvas because it looks like an original painting.

Why is Zach Wildlife Art focusing more on canvas prints?
Three years ago we acquired a top-of-the-line giclée ink printer, which enables us to provide the best artwork possible. Everything from designing and creating the original painting to the color management and printing are done in-house by Larry. Every step of the process is perfected according to Larry’s highest standards. This has allowed us to produce images that are closer to the original than ever before. Giclée printing on canvas provides the richest and most vibrant color matching. Our giclée canvases are treated with an ultraviolet, waterproof finish that protects the image and extends the life of the canvas to 200 years.

Some advantages to the canvas are:

• Looks like the original painting. Many mistake it for the original.
• No glass used in framing, which eliminates potential issues with glare disrupting viewing.
• Much more affordable than an original and replaceable if damaged.
• Master Canvases can be custom-sized to fit your wall space.

Giclée canvases are an excellent value for even the most discriminating consumer.

How can Zach Wildlife Art produce a better product at such an attractive price?
Several things make this possible. Because we now do our own printing and Larry has full control over the end result, we are able to save you money that would normally go to a publisher or outsource printer. In addition, with our gallery move, we have trimmed our overhead significantly, and we are passing on these savings to our collectors. Just as the economy has influenced Americans to budget more wisely, Zach Wildlife Art is finding ways to cut expenses and make our products more affordable for our collectors.

The Classic Canvas edition is priced at $145 (or $175 for the AP), the same price as past paper prints. We have also been able to reduce the price of the Master Canvas SN edition from $425 to only $295 and the Master Canvas AP edition from $495 to only $365. All are tremendous values.

To place your order, you may choose one of the following:

• Attend our Open House on May 21-23

Dear Zach Wildlife Art Collector,

It’s been an eventful year at Zach Wildlife Art. With our new home-based office, we now have a 30-second commute! Prairie, woods, birds, and deer are now right outside the window. Larry will now have more time to paint and research, our main goal in tackling this major change.

Larry has been painting one day each month at the new Bass Pro Shops in Altoona and has enjoyed talking with visitors about his artwork. Contact Bass Pro Shops to find out when Larry will be painting in 2010.

We held our first post-gallery open house during Thanksgiving weekend at Stoney Creek Inn in Johnston, just off I-35/80. It was a great success! Thanks to those made it out and escaped the Black Friday stampede at the malls to view Larry’s new artwork in peace. Watch the website for future events. You can also call to make an appointment to see new releases, to select framing, or to pick up artwork at our home/office/studio in Ankeny.

We are happy to announce the release of a new painting for the new year. Here’s some background on the new release, Evening Solitude – Rocky Mountain Elk, in Larry’s words:

“The original inspiration for this painting occurred on a February reference trip in Yellowstone. It was very cold and we’d been exploring the high country, looking for painting ideas and gathering reference material all day. As dusk approached it started snowing again. I don’t recall being able to hear any sound. The landscape was hauntingly beautiful. I captured as much as I could until it finally got too dark. On the way down I pondered what I’d experienced. There seemed to be many different ways to try to capture the scene in a painting. The three bulls moving silently through the landscape enhance the feeling of tranquility, leading to the piece you see here.”

Evening Solitude - Rocky Mountain Elk (Limited Edition Classic Canvas, Box Frame)

Evening Solitude is available in two limited edition canvas sizes, as well as two open edition canvas sizes. All four editions are high-quality giclée canvases. Larry does all the color-proofing and printing of these canvases in-house, so that we can guarantee only the highest-quality reproductions. When you see these canvas prints in person, you’ll be shocked to find how much they look like an original painting.

The largest size canvas of Evening Solitude – Rocky Mountain Elk, and the most limited in number, is theMaster Canvas, measuring 17″ tall x 30″ wide. The standard Master Canvas edition has a size of only 100 and the Artist Proof (AP) edition only 25. The other limited edition is the Classic Canvas. This edition replaces the standard paper print edition and measures 13″ tall x 23″ wide. You can now obtain your established print number, matching your existing Zach collection, in the new Classic Canvas limited edition at no additional cost. There are only 850 canvases in the standard Classic Canvas edition and only 125 in the AP edition.

Normally you would expect to pay a significant premium for a giclée canvas over a giclée paper print. Well, we have great news for our collectors… With the recent gallery move, we have trimmed our overhead significantly, and we are passing on these savings to our collectors. The standard Classic Canvas edition is priced at $145, the same price as past standard paper prints, and the Classic Canvas AP edition is only $175, also the same price as before. We have also been able to reduce the price of the Master Canvas standard edition Evening Solitude from $425 to $295 and the Master Canvas AP edition from $495 to $365.

For those looking to fill a smaller spot on the wall, or for a great gift idea, we have two open edition giclée canvases available, the Encore and Decorator sizes. See all editions framed on the back of this letter.

Orders can be placed by email at info@zachwildlifeart.com or by phone at 515-964-7872. Don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions.

Wishing you health and happiness in the new year,

Marcia Zach

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Just one creature was stirring, the loving spouse
The artwork she hung by the chimney with care
‘Cause who wants plain walls, all empty and bare?

When it comes to the outdoorsman, bird watcher, or devoted hunter on your shopping list, nothing can fill a stocking — or a wall — like the stunning artwork from Zach Wildlife Art.

For nature lovers, no gift is so smart
Happy Christmas to all, and to all Zach Wildlife Art!
