This is a Artwork in Yellow of Robert Mihaly’s original oil painting Quail Roost, 2024
In this luminous Yellow Edition, Mihaly bathes the storied Durham estate in radiant golds, sunlit ambers, and warm lemon tones, capturing the vibrancy and joy of the historic landscape. The barns, pastures, and equestrian figures shimmer under a golden light, their forms brought to life through Mihaly?s impressionistic brushwork and bold, expressive strokes. Just around the corner from Castle Mont Rouge, the estate glows like a living sun-drenched tableau, inviting viewers to wander its rolling fields and take in the timeless beauty of its architecture and natural surroundings.
Founded in 1875 by Durham?s prominent businessmen?including George W. Watts, John Sprunt Hill, and members of the Duke family?Quail Roost began as a hunting lodge and evolved into a gentleman?s farm under George Watts Hill. By the 1940s, the estate was internationally celebrated for its Golden Guernsey cattle, equestrian culture, and steeplechase competitions. Mihaly?s painting honors the estate?s layered history, transforming barns and stables into vibrant symbols of human endeavor, pastoral charm, and enduring legacy.
In this Yellow Edition, the landscape radiates warmth, energy, and optimism, highlighting the harmonious interplay of sunlight, architecture, and animal life. Each brushstroke emphasizes the luminous textures of the farm and the surrounding countryside, creating a vivid, timeless scene that celebrates the beauty and history of one of North Carolina?s most remarkable historic estates.

Mihaly’s canvas reproductions are produced using archival-grade materials and professional printing methods designed to preserve color, detail, and surface quality over time. Each piece is printed on thick, pH-neutral, acid-free canvas chosen for its durability and bright white surface, allowing color to remain vibrant, accurate, and true to the artist’s original vision without yellowing or degradation.
The canvases are stretched on solid wood stretcher bars, measuring 1.5 inches deep, with rounded and beveled edges that minimize contact with the canvas surface. This construction helps prevent warping or bowing over time while giving the artwork a substantial, gallery-ready presence.
Printing is done using color-calibrated giclée inkjet technology with eco-solvent inks, ensuring consistency, tonal accuracy, and long-term resistance to fading. Under proper conditions, these archival inks are rated to maintain their color integrity for generations.
Larger canvas sizes—12 × 16, 18 × 24, 24 × 32, and 30 × 40—arrive professionally finished with a black backboard and heavy-duty hanging wire installed. Smaller sizes, including 6 × 8 and 9 × 12, are fitted with sawtooth hangers for easy installation. Lightweight yet substantial, canvas reproductions are designed to hang effortlessly while offering lasting visual impact.
Together, these materials and methods result in museum-quality reproductions that balance longevity, visual depth, and craftsmanship—making them well-suited for both private collections and thoughtfully designed spaces.

For collectors seeking something rarer, deeper, and more personal, select canvas reproductions are offered as hand-finished works completed within the artist’s studio. These pieces exist in the space between reproduction and original painting — each one individually textured, finished, and documented.
After printing, hand-applied texture mediums are carefully added to the canvas to echo the rhythm, movement, and tactile presence of the original oil painting. The process follows artist-defined methods and materials, with subtle variations in texture ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike.
Each hand-textured canvas is individually numbered to reflect its place within the ongoing studio process, rather than as part of a fixed edition. The textured surface is then sealed with a UV-resistant varnish, adding depth and tonal richness while protecting the artwork over time. Every piece is signed and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, affirming its status as an artist-directed, studio-finished work.

Mihaly’s paper prints are produced on premium fine art papers selected for their surface quality, color fidelity, and long-term stability. Each print is made on thick, archival-grade, acid-free paper designed to preserve detail and tonal richness while ensuring a long print life.
Printing is done using professional, color-calibrated Canon giclée printers with aqueous pigment inks. This process delivers precise color accuracy, deep blacks, and subtle tonal transitions, with archival ratings that support resistance to fading for generations under proper conditions.
Select prints are produced on cold press, textured matte fine art paper made from 100% cotton rag. This heavyweight paper offers a softly tactile surface that adds depth and dimension to the image, enhancing brushwork, atmosphere, and light without introducing gloss or glare. Its neutral white tone supports accurate color reproduction, while the matte finish allows the artwork to be viewed comfortably in a wide range of lighting environments.
Together, these materials and methods result in paper prints of exceptional quality and longevity, offering a refined, archival alternative for collectors who appreciate subtle texture, clarity, and classic presentation.
Select works are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity verifying their origin, materials, and studio process. Each certificate serves as an official record of the artwork, affirming its status as an authentic work produced under the artist’s direction.
Certificates are included with all canvas reproductions and hand-textured works, and with select large-format paper prints. Each certificate identifies the artwork by title, medium, and production details, and documents whether the piece was studio-finished or hand-textured. When applicable, the certificate also records the work’s individual studio number or edition information.
Every Certificate of Authenticity is signed and approved by the artist and printed on archival paper. Subtle design elements may reference the artist’s visual language or studio identity, creating a formal connection between the certificate and the artwork itself.
Together with the artist’s signature on the artwork, the certificate establishes provenance, supports long-term collectible value, and transforms ownership into a considered, enduring collector experience.
