Prints of Paintings
Here are some of my paintings now available as prints. Aside from those below there are much more paintings of Ireland available as prints as I add to them all the time.
There is also a large selection of my bird paintings (wires, grass, etc.) available as prints. Most of the original paintings have all sold or are otherwise unavailable.

The prints come from ImageKind, and I chose them because some painters I respect were using them. ImageKind is a print-on-demand service, and I’ve purchased one myself (”Killarney”) to check the quality - I was very happy.
Prices start from under 30USD but if you want to splash out you have the option of adding framing to the order, and all kinds of fancy papers or canvas even.
More prints will be made available.
Some of my older paintings I do not have good enough quality photos of to make prints from, so they won’t become available as prints, but all new paintings are now photographed as I finish them with a view to making prints.
[...] After receiving requests for many years, I’ve finally made some of my Irish paintings available as prints. [...]
Eolai, will you sign & number the prints? And will you limit the total number of each?
Martha, they’re print-on-demand which means they’re printed by ImageKind as they’re ordered and sent straight to the customer; they don’t come near me, so signing them is not possible.
Technically I could set things up so that orders come to me and I then order from ImageKind, sign and number and then send on to the customer - but that level of interception would double shipping expenses, processing fees, and probably currency conversion charges too - it’s not really practical as it would generate a chunk more work for less income overall.
Unfortunately there’s no automatic way to do a limited print run using a print-on-demand service other than just cutting them off after X orders.
However I definitely forsee (signed and numbered) limited print runs down the road just not with any of these. I’m simply not in any position right now to finance even a limited number of Giclee prints but I do definitely plan to.
[...] Yay. Now get prints of Eolai’s work. [...]
Cool deal! Do you have a high quality photo of the painting and the print so you could show a detail online to have a side-by-side comparison to see the quality? How do you pay Imagekind? What’s their copyright and reproduction contract like?
Peace.

Daniel,
Copyright stays 100% with the artist. ImageKind explain fully on their site here.
The artist doesn’t pay anything up front, instead a base price per print goes to ImageKind as and when each order is placed, and the markup goes to the artist.
ImageKind will only print from high quality photos. If you look at any particular painting above and click on the available print sizes, you will see that many of the larger sizes are crossed out. That is because the photo uploaded wasn’t of a resolution high enough to produce a high quality print of that size (in my case usually of sizes much bigger than the original painting).
Because every painting is different, and every photo of a painting is taken under different circumstances of different sizes, and every print is available in different sizes, and everybody sees them reproduced on monitors of different resolutions, there’s no great meaning in showing a side-by-side comparison. ImageKind do offer full refunds for people not happy but I think their quality control should catch any photos not good enough to trigger even the smallest available print.
