Colors sampled from this photograph

Made at the Buffalo River Dam on the evening of Saturday, September 19, 2026, at the end of a day that began with the Centennial Valley loop. There was no one else out there, and the trees along the river were at their best that week.

Which medium, which size

Made to order by NMFA. Only sizes that hold detail at proper viewing distance are offered on this frame. Free shipping within the US; for Canada, write to us for a quote at cost. Sales tax is added at checkout where it applies. A print that arrives damaged or defective is replaced at no cost.

ChromaLuxe metal · ready to hang

The image is bonded into a coated aluminum panel with heat and pressure, so the dyes become part of the metal. The most luminous finish we offer, with deep color and no glass. Hanging hardware is included. White glossy by default; semi-gloss or matte on request.

Allow about 14 business days for production and delivery.

Size

TruLife acrylic · ready to hang

The print is face-mounted beneath optical-grade, anti-glare TruLife acrylic. Details seem to sit inside the glass; light falling across the face makes the piece look lit from within. Our statement piece, and the one to choose for the wall that gets the light. Hanging hardware is included.

Allow about 18 business days for production and delivery.

Size

Framed acrylic, linen liner · ready to hang

The TruLife acrylic piece finished in a handcrafted hardwood frame with a linen liner: a 4-inch Tabacchino scoop in dark ash or cigar leaf with a 2-inch linen liner, which adds about 12 inches to each dimension of the print. At 24 × 16 and 20 × 20 the frame is the slimmer 2.75-inch Tabacchino scoop without a liner (the liner starts at 30 × 20). The other profiles are on the Framing page.

Allow about 28 business days for production and delivery.

Size

Fine art paper print

Museum-grade archival pigment inks on Canson Platine Fibre Rag, a heavy cotton paper with a soft sheen and deep blacks. The quiet option, for a frame you already own, or a framer you trust. Ships flat at 12 × 8 and rolled in a tube above that; a rolled print relaxes flat in a day or two.

Allow about 10 business days for production and delivery.

Size

Secure checkout with Stripe; we check every order — crop, file, and size — before it goes to the lab.
