Summer Tanager (Red)

Beautiful little red Summer Tanager song bird sitting on a fence in Bentonville, Arkansas.

The signed piece of art is titled  Summer Tanager, and it captures one of the beautiful colors found in the backwoods of Arkansas.  This little red bird played hide and seek with me for several days before he finally posed long enough for me to photograph him.  I possibly interrupted his meal, but not for too long. 

The fine art photography wall decor brings nature inside.

Care Instructions

 

TruLife ACRYLIC Fine Art

TruLife Acrylic cleans like glass. It is scratch resistant but NOT scratch proof!   Wipe down the acrylic with a microfiber cloth. Spray acrylic with plastic cleaner (do not use harsh chemicals like ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners). Any gentle monitor or glass cleaner will work. Wipe off acrylic with a microfiber cloth. Make sure that the surface is wiped dry to prevent streaks. (Do NOT use paper towels, as they may scratch the acrylic.). Just wipe with any non-amonia/non-alcohol cleaner (Windex) using a non-abrasive microfiber cloth.

Best Cleaning Method:

Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth – Gently wipe the surface to remove dust and fingerprints.
Dampen with water or an acrylic-safe cleaner – Lightly mist a microfiber cloth with distilled water or a plastic cleaner like Novus 1 (do not spray directly on the acrylic).
For stubborn smudges – A mix of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol (70%) can help break down oils without damaging the coating.
Wipe in a soft, circular motion – This prevents streaks and ensures even cleaning.

What to Avoid:

No ammonia-based cleaners (like Windex) – These can cause cloudiness or damage the anti-reflective coating.
No paper towels or rough cloths – They can leave micro-scratches.
No excessive pressure or rubbing – Acrylic is durable but can scratch if cleaned too aggressively.

DiBond Brushed Metal

Dibond brushed metal prints have a sleek, industrial finish, but they require gentle care to maintain their appearance without scratching or dulling the surface.   While these prints offer unsurpassed durability with UV-cured ink, it is best to use a microfiber cloth when cleaning them to avoid scratching the surface. You can clean it with any mild cleaning product or soapy water. (They will scratch so don't pick at any spot!) Air dry.

Best Cleaning Method:

Use a dry microfiber cloth – Lightly dust the surface to remove fingerprints, smudges, and debris.
For light smudges – Dampen a lint-free microfiber cloth with distilled water and wipe gently in the direction of the brushed grain.
For stubborn marks – Use a mixture of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol (70%) or a small amount of mild dish soap with water.
Buff dry with a clean microfiber cloth – This prevents streaks and keeps the brushed metal looking sleek.

What to Avoid:

Canvas 

Canvas prints are durable but require gentle care to avoid damaging the surface or texture. In order to maintain the art's original vividness you should avoid long-term exposure to sunlight, and avoid hot and humid areas. You can dust the canvas regularly, but make sure not to use any chemicals.  Follow these steps to keep your canvas fine art print looking its best:

Best Cleaning Method:

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth – Lightly wipe the surface to remove dust and debris.
Use a soft brush for deeper dust removal – A clean, dry paintbrush or feather duster works well for textured surfaces.
For light smudges – Dampen a lint-free cloth with distilled water and gently dab (do not rub) the affected area.
Keep prints in a dry, controlled environment – This helps prevent warping or mold growth.

What to Avoid:

No household cleaners or sprays – Chemicals can damage the canvas or alter the colors.
No excessive moisture – Too much water can weaken the canvas and cause warping.
No rubbing or scrubbing – This can damage the ink and textured surface.

For long-term care, keep your canvas art away from direct sunlight and high humidity, and clean it gently as needed. This will help preserve its vibrant colors and fine details for years to come!

Dampen with water or acrylic-safe cleaner – Lightly mist a lint-free microfiber cloth with distilled water or an acrylic-safe cleaner like Novus 1 (never spray directly on the block).
