Pricing art is a challenge. Each piece represents something different to the artist and to the buyer. All that being true, I have made an honest attempt at a subjective pricing model that leaves the subjectivity of the content aside. This imperfect system is somewhat immune from the expression of favoritism from the market but should be an easy way for people to buy and enjoy art.

Here is an example of a watercolor in a 15x20” painting in a 20x27” frame. *note the matte finish on the lens to reduce glare.

Oil paintings take weeks to dry in the studio near a dehumidifier.
Once dry enough, they are varnished with Gamvar varnish made by Gamblin Art Materials. This is for protection from atmospheric elements, and should the painting be refurbished in the future, it can be removed with turpentine.
This product comes in a matte, satin, or gloss finish. If there is no frame for an oil painting, the edges will be painted black, and a wire will be installed, making it ready to hang.
All original artworks will be signed and include a certificate of authenticity.
Floating frames:
Any floating frame is $300.
Made from reclaimed cypress or long-leaf pine and finished in natural wood. These are made custom for the painting size.
The inside of the floating frame and the edges of the canvas.
