This print is made to the industry highest quality standards. The print is on Somerset Velvet Paper so the image is impregnated into the paper rather than setting on it. This makes it difficult to tell the original watercolor from the print. This is not one of those cheapo prints, but real fine art, backed by the artist himself.
Packaging!!!! When I package a print a gorilla couldn’t hurt it. I make custom made boxes for each print.

The print is shrinked wrapped flat on foam core and includes an artist bio.
Michael Steddum’s passion is in painting everyday scenes of the dogs we love and enjoy. Michael Steddum is a self-published artist with more than 100 limited edition prints to his credit. His work is collected around the world. He has produced numerous commissions for companies such as Field & Stream Apparel and Vance Creek, as well as private collectors in the United States and abroad.
Michael Steddum was born in California, and he has always possessed a passion for drawing and painting. He joined the United States Navy in 1984, and was an Illustrator during the later part of his enlistment. After the military, Michael worked for a gallery in San Diego, California. He started there as a sales consultant, and worked his way up to a manager moving to Minnesota. In 1990 Michael went full time into art, accepting personal commissions to paint portraits of individual dogs. He moved to Prairie Farm, Wisconsin in 1998 where a hundred year old farm house nestled in forty acres became his studio. It was a dream come true, where his Gordon Setter, Razzie could run and work the woods looking for grouse. During this time in Wisconsin, he purchased a section of woods where he single-handedly built his own home. In 2003 he moved to Upstate New York for two years and recently returned to Wisconsin. Michael believes that “an artist’s life is a process and not an event”. He often says “it took only twenty years to become an over night success."
