Check out my paintings with the tabs above. Your comments are always welcomed.
The paintings are priced framed: usually with a metal frame or a thin, dark wood frame. Of course price adjustments may be made if you prefer to purchase without a frame...then the paintings will be shipped matted & shrink wrapped.
All of the originals are also available as small prints (5 x 7 image size, 9 x 12 matted size) that look really good framed and hung in multiples. These small prints are economically priced at $20 each matted and shrink wrapped. You may contact me about larger sized prints availability and pricing.
