Crossing College Street – Auburn Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale
This Auburn canvas print features a couple crossing College Street towards Toomer’s Corner. This is sure to be a familiar scene for anyone who has called Auburn home.
I’m sure every college town must have its own special traditions. Toomer’s Corner is both a local landmark and a tradition. This corner of the Auburn campus owes its name to Toomer’s Drugs which has stood on the corner of Magnolia Avenue and College Street every since 1896.
More than a century later, it’s less a drug store and more a local attraction. Despite the changes, this corner feels like a fixture. True, the students crossing College Street may change as the years pass, but there’s a sense of continuity that, for me at least, emanates from that simple little building seen here on the corner. It’s part of the local history and lore.
How many students have met here after class? Or met here by chance for the first time and became lifelong friends or more? Toomer’s Corner is a traditional gathering spot for students and Tiger fans on game-day during Football season. And that’s especially true following a victory!
The Spirit of Auburn was what I was trying to capture in this Auburn canvas print. Do you feel that spirit when looking at this scene? I believe this is ultimately a sentimental piece that would make a great gift for people who are looking for a memento of their own Auburn story.
Does this Crossing College Street canvas print remind you of happy days spent in Auburn, Alabama? Does it remind you of good times with friends new or old? I hope you’ll pause for a moment to share what this Auburn print means to you? And of course if you have questions or comments, I hope you’ll drop me a note.
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.
