The Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta in California has undergone massive changes over the last eight decades from dams and other alterations that have changed these two rivers’ natural course, flow and hydrology. The California least tern and Delta smelt are just two of many species affected by dams along the rivers.

This is a print of an original oil painting on paper titled “Shifting Territories.” (see size of original in 4th photo!). Print is available in multiple sizes, from 10 x 5.5” (25.4 x 14 cm) up to 88 x 51” (223.5 x 130 cm), with a white border around the edge.

Prints are printed on 100% cotton fiber, acid-free Epson paper (330 gsm weight), which has a smooth, velvety finish and beautiful color. For the smallest size, I print this in my studio, using UltraChrome archival ink. All other sizes are printed by a local fine art printer using museum-quality archival pigment. I worked with this wonderful printer to get this print just right and am so happy with the results (see process photos).

Packaged in a protective sleeve, and shipped in a sturdy, bend-proof cardboard mailer (flat mailer for small sizes, tube for larger sizes). Ships from the San Francisco Bay Area, via first class mail.

This image is part of my painting series, “Submerged,” which explores the effects of dams on rivers, their species and their ecosystems. See more on my website at www.jidowney.com.
