ABOUT ORIGINALS & PRINTS


One good question about any painting is its depth. Often large acrylic paintings are on one and a half inch thick stretched canvas. Acrylic paintings of this depth (1.5 inches deep) are often left as is with a color painted on the edge but the buyer can also have the painting framed. I do not paint the scene around the edge and find a solid border works better. Original acrylics are generally not framed under glass; often a framer will suggest a “floating” frame for deeper canvases. Oils are not framed under glass whereas watercolors are. Some of my available paintings are already framed.
​

Many of my paintings have been scanned or photographed with enough resolution to make a giclée print on archival paper. You should contact me directly about this. “Giclée” is French for “sprayed ink.”
