Andalusia High School – Old Main Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale
This Alabama canvas print features the classic “Old Main” building at Andalusia High School. This building is one of those places I grew up hearing about even though I never attended. My Mom was born and raised in Andalusia, and attended the local schools there, graduating from Andalusia High School. Since my grandmother lived there when I was small, some of my earliest memories are from that beautiful city in Covington County just above the Florida panhandle. As years passed, there were fewer family members still living there and we visited less often. but Andalusia will always be the place where some of my earliest personal memories reside.
I’ve always been impressed by the spirit of continuity and tradition that seems to revolve around Andalusia High School. I heard about it growing up and I saw it first hand while visiting during homecoming once several years ago. In fact this print of “Old Main” is based on photos I took on that visit. The sense of community among both the locals and the visiting alumni was palpable. Even though many didn’t live there anymore it was clearly still “home” to them.
The continuity of Andalusia High School extends even to the building. The current building, Old Main, built in 1939, is not the first high school. Yet it seems like it! In fact, where the Elementary schools in Andalusia have been replaced in my lifetime, Andalusia High School has had new wings added and renovations. The citizens of Andalusia seem inclined to keep that part of their heritage intact. And it’s a beautiful building, can you blame them?
Did you attend school in the building depicted on this Andalusia canvas print? Or does the strong sense of classic Americana appeal to you? I hope you might take a moment to share what attracted you to this particular art.
Canvas Prints – Product Information
Stretched canvas prints are a great choice for decorating your home or office. Canvas art is a classic choice that is at home in traditional and modern decor alike.
After the purchase of your canvas print, it is made to your order. The artwork is printed on an acid-free poly/cotton blend canvas. The use of archival inks and substrate means that your canvas art print should last a lifetime without fading or loss of color.
When ordering your print, you have a choice between glossy and matte finishes. While I ordinarily love matte finishes on prints, I do like the sheen that comes on glossy canvas prints. Ultimately I would suggest letting the amount of light in your space guide your choice. In a brightly lit environment, I would lean towards a matte finish to reduce the chance of glare.
There are three wrap styles to choose from for canvas prints. The mirrored wrap choice mirrors and extends the image to the sides of the canvas wrap (without losing any of the original artwork on the front). The majority of the time I would suggest this is the best choice. The other two options are a solid black wrap or white wrap. You can see a preview of each option when selecting wrap color.
After printing, the canvas is stretched over and secured to a wooden frame of 1.5″ by 1.5″ stretcher bars. The entire production process takes from 5 to 7 business days. Your artwork will arrive in sturdy packaging. The hanging wire will be attached and all hardware necessary to hang your canvas print will be included. Canvas prints are a great ready-to-hang option.
