Original commission paintings & available Original paintings If you are specifically interested in the sold paintings on this site, I can recreate a very similar painting on a commission basis. Please ask for more details. Thank you The way commissions work: Pick out a painting you like, email me with the name of the piece, if no name is available just copy and paste the painting's picture directly into your email. I will reply shortly. A 10% deposit is required to start the work, the balance is paid upon completion right before shipment. At the moment I am only accepting PayPal. Once all details are worked out through e-mail, the work is started. I require 2-3 weeks to complete commissioned art, but for paintings that have extremely heavy palette knife impasto oil layers additional drying time may be required, which I will of course let you know about ahead of time . Once the painting is complete, I email a main picture and a few close-ups for your confirmation and any possible changes at your request. If all is copasetic, The painting is varnished, the edges are finished in gallery black style and your new painting is prepared, packaged and shipped out within 3 business days. My art is usually shipped via USPS Priority Mail with delivery confirmation insured. For larger paintings I may sometimes use a different carrier. Paintings are packaged in a custom box with appropriate packaging for safe delivery. My Return Policy: Photos of my paintings are not enhanced but since all monitors vary, some may see hue variations of a particular color. If you need an exact color match, purchasing any art online is probably not the best way to go. Regardless, If you are not completely satisfied and would like to return a painting, please contact me within 1 week of receipt. Return Shipping costs and getting the painting back to me in it's original condition is the customers responsibility. A refund is issued within 2 business days of receipt. If there is a painting you really like that is already completed and ready to be shipped in my eBay store and want it quicker, please place a bid. You can also submit an offer on the buy it now listings, all reasonable offers are considered.

If you purchased and Original Painting
Lighting
Paintings will look their best and most dramatic with designated lighting, especially those that have modern metallic shimmering colors. The best kind of a designated light source is a “picture spotlight” which can be purchased anywhere online at reasonable prices, Ikea has very reasonable prices on modern lighting. But if that is not an option or possibility for you, any light source will still be beneficial.
Framing
Framing an original painting is not absolutely necessary but may be something you are considering, and there is a unlimited selection of frames out there ranging in styles from modern, contemporary, to more traditional. There are some benefits to framing original artwork on stretched canvas:
- All your other paintings are framed and you want to retain a uniform look in your room/home
- A frame can make any painting appear much larger
- A frame can help keep the wooden stretcher frame (what the canvas is stretched onto) from warping over time in unpredictable temperature changes and humidity levels
So for now you have decided to forego framing your painting either because you have purchased one that you feel already looks great hung as is since it is on gallery back wrapped on 1.5" deep stretcher bars with a finished black painted edge, or because you don't want the additional expense at the moment (you can always frame it at a later date). Here are a few tips:
Hanging Your New
Original Painting
Hang your
painting on two picture hooks or nails (with anchors) which are appropriate to
the wall (wood, plaster, drywall) and strong enough to secure the weight of the
piece. Two hooks/nails, rather than one, will allow the painting to maintain a
horizontal position. For heavier pieces it is advised to use anchors.
Decorating Tip #1:
Hang high
enough to be able to see the painting clearly from anywhere in the room. A spot
over a mantelpiece, table or over a sofa (above head height of anyone sitting on
the sofa) is usually ideal. If the painting you purchased has metallic paint,
you can use a designated light source such as spotlights or a “picture” light
(readily available at any home improvement store) to optimize the dramatic
effect of the metallic glow/shimmer, but such a light source can really be used
for any fine art to spotlight it as the centerpiece that it is.
Decorating Tip #2:
Avoid hanging paintings in hallways or on walls where there is frequent family movement or furniture may be brushed against the wall, but if you must, hang it high enough or in a spot where these issues will be avoided
Handling and Storage
An original painting is
a sturdy, long-lasting, and durable art form, and with proper care and handling
will last for generations.
Handling Tip #1:
Always handle a painting by the frame without touching the painted surface. Even better, to not leave marks on the black painted edge, you can hold the painting by the back bar(s)
Handling Tip #2:
Never let any object/hands press against either the front or back of a painting canvas, as it is pliable and may cause the paint material to crack or chip and may create a dent/hole in the stretched canvas.
Handling Tip #3:
For temporary storage or transporting a painting, If you no longer have the shipping box the painting arrived in, place cardboard or plywood on both front and back and then wrap in ‘bubble wrap’ and tape or tie securely.
Cleaning an Original Painting
Never use
harsh chemicals or cleaning agents. Occasional light dusting with a clean, soft
duster/brush can be done right over the texture. If the paintings has a high
gloss varnish, it can be safely cleaned with a damp cloth or paper towel, keep
the texture in mind when doing so because high ridges can snag on the rag or
paper towel. If this happens where pieces of paper or fibers are left behind,
just remove them with your fingers or tweezers.
Tip:
Never expose
a painting to extreme heat, cold, or humidity, whether hanging on your wall or
in storage. Neither basements nor attics are good storage locations, and even a
bathroom that has a tub or shower where you know it will be constantly exposed
to humidity may not be the best place for it since it can cause the wooden
stretcher bars to warp or the canvas to sag. The best place to store a painting
is on a highly visible wall for all to enjoy. .
