Shipping Your Paintings Safely To Their New Destinations.
If USPS or UPS service your destination, then I can guarantee that you will receive your painting. Within North America, shipping will take no longer than 5 business days to reach you. Tracking numbers are always provided so that you can follow your shipment on its journey and be prepared for its timely, safe arrival. In order to prepare your painting for shipment, I carefully wrap the piece before custom fitting it into a well constructed foam core insulation box. After this, I place your padded, protected painting in a custom fit corrugated box and it is ready to be sent directly to its new home.
I have shipped my contemporary paintings to virtually everywhere on Earth including, the Sultanate of Oman, Brunei, Isle of Man, Iceland, Greece, Spain, Italy, Sierra Leone, Belgium, Mexico, Hawaii, South Africa, and have discovered that there is virtually nowhere on earth that can’t be reached by UPS!
How to buy my abstract paintings Online GO TO MY ABSTRACT PAINTING STORE
I have sold my contemporary paintings online for almost 10 years. While this technology has been to my advantage, it has limited my desire to promote myself locally. I take great pride in my craft and customer service and this is evident by the wonderful responses that I regularly receive from my customers. I continually hear about the high quality of my abstract paintings and how closely the computer images match up with them. In fact one of the most common responses I hear is how the paintings have exceeded expectations.
My Canvas Paintings – Artist’s Materials
I use only professional grade acrylic and oil paints as well as museum quality stretched canvas for my contemporary paintings. There are no staples on the sides of paintings and the edges are painted black for a modern, contemporary look. A final topcoat of varnish is applied to protect your investment in a new abstract painting from harmful UV rays and dust.
All works are signed and dated on the reverse. Only certain canvas paintings are signed on the painted side, as the owner may want to display the piece other than I intended it to be. Florals, landscapes and cityscapes will be hand signed on the front whereas the abstract paintings will only be done so upon request.
Still not sure how my modern, abstract painting will look in your room? Send me a digital picture of your room with some measurements and I will superimpose the painting on your wall for you to visualize for a $25 fee
On average, I am approached by curious high school students who have become interested in my art at least twice a week. These wonderful future artists have asked me many questions to learn more about my paintings and my techniques. I am always honored to respond to their queries such as the next several ones I have reprinted.
FAQ
- What medium do you use?
- I am most fond of acrylics and watercolours, preferring to dilute my acrylics so that I can achieve a semi transparent effect. I get my inspiration for this from glass art which I love! However, I will also use oil paints. I find these to have the richest colours imaginable and mostly use them during the summer months as they take so long to dry otherwise.
- What techniques do you use?
- I use glazes and mediums to dilute my liquid acrylic paints, or a palette knife to apply the thicker full bodied paints.
- What words would you use to describe your art?
- Vibrant, lively, uplifting, inspirational. There is a cardiologist in Texas who decorated his entire office with my art because his patients told him that my art made them "feel better".
- What are your inspirations for your pieces, especially the abstracts?
- I am inspired by nature, especially the calming waves of the ocean, the warmth of a summer wind, or the scent of a garden flower. The colours, shapes and textures within nature are endless. I have succeeded if my work allows the viewer to feel the force of a colour or the strength of a shape.
- What subject do you enjoy painting most at this time?
- In my travels around the world I have recognized that cityscapes define the hopes and ambitions of a society, with each one being uniquely different. As an abstract artist I have the ability to transform the straight lines and right angles into a more free flowing unifying appearance that unites rather than separates one structure from another.
