What is
the return policy? All purchases represent a commitment on the part
of the buyer to be one of the very exclusive group of collectors of my
work. I do realize that sometimes things look different in person, and
there are always alternative options available.
What if
the size or color isn't exactly what I want? I'll be happy to discuss
an alternative piece, or a commission to work with certain size and color
interests. The buyer will absorb all return shipping costs, as well as
any additional costs that might be incurred for the execution of a commissioned
piece. A special size may add to the cost of materials and framing.
Can I try
out a painting and see how it looks before I make a commitment? Of
course, I'll send a painting out on approval just to make sure the size
and color will be perfect. The transaction will be handled as a purchase
until I receive word that the sale is finalized, or another piece might
be more suitable, or that no painting I could supply would be suitable.
I will request that correspondence be maintained throughout this process,
so I can be made aware of any concerns and decisions. The cost of return
shipping and insurance will be at the expense of the client, and I will
issue a refund once the painting has been returned within a reasonable
amount of time (typically within 2 weeks or so) in the exact same condition.
How can
I see more of your work in person? You could come to my studio to view
some paintings, but I would probably suggest that I bring a collection
of work to your home so you can see the work in the setting where it would
be displayed. It's really the only way you can be sure about the size and
scale and color, and it's important to me that you be thrilled with your
new acquisition. I'm willing to drive any reasonable distance to show you
as much of the collection as you might want to see, typically within a
three hour drive from my studio, which includes everywhere from Connecticut
down to Washington, DC and the surrounding areas.
How do I
care for the painting?
These paintings are oil paint on stretched linen canvas. The surface is
very durable, and needs very little care. The surface of the painting can
be dusted or lightly cleaned with a soft, damp cloth, and you can use furniture
polish on a cloth to dust the frame, being careful not to apply furniture
polish to the paint surface.
What's the
best way to hang a painting, is there any considerations of how and where
to hang it? The best place for the painting is in a well lit location,
but preferably not in direct sunlight. Typically two picture hangers are
sufficient to support the weight of the painting in drywall, and it is
not necessary to anchor the fittings or to locate the fittings on a wall
stud. It's not necessary to center the painting on a wall, usually it looks
best when centered on a table or couch, or on a certain area of seating
or viewing.
