Production Notes

Original Paintings

Original paintings are painted on oil-primed linen. When the original is purchased the linen is adhered to a sealed masonite panel with an archival glue. This process ensures that the painting will be preserved and enjoyed for many years. Since linen is not stretched over wooden stretcher bars like traditional canvas, the masonite panel keeps the painting rigid and thus protects it from damage. It also makes framing very easy to do.

The original artwork is signed on the back with the month and year it was painted. Included with the painting is a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist, with interesting information about the painting’s origin and purpose. Artwork and certificate are packaged and shipped for safe arrival.

Museum-Quality Prints

All paper orders are produced on Epson Hot Press Bright, an acid free, 100% cotton rag paper with a bright white, smooth finish. All paper prints are mounted to 3/16” archival Gatorboard and trimmed flush with the artwork for a beautiful finished product.

All canvas orders are printed directly onto Epson Exhibition canvas media, a bright white, acid free, lignin free heavyweight cotton-poly blend. The canvas base is enhanced with elastic polymers providing flexibility for stretching without cracking. It’s the good stuff.
