  Please note that the colors showing on your monitor will not match exactly the colors of the paintings. Not only is a lot lost in the translation, monitors differ in their color rendition. We can only offer a fairly close representation. If you would like to see a picture of a painting with its frame, let me know and I will send it via email, regular mail, or put it on the website.

    Except where noted, matting is of a white or offwhite color, and both matboard and backing board are 100% cotton, archival museum board. A few early works are matted with quality acid-free matboard with backboard of acid free foamcore. All watercolors are originals, and no prints have been made of them (nor are available). Most work is framed and glazed with glass.

    All work is 100% guaranteed. If you are not satisfied with a piece when you receive it, you can return it to us in original condition, packed carefully as it was shipped to you, via insured UPS or Priority Mail, within seven days, for a full refund.

"The artist, the true artist, the true poet, must paint according to what he sees and feels. He must be truly faithful to his own nature. He must avoid like the plague borrowing the eyes and the feelings of another man, however great that man may be; for his creations would then be lies, not realities."

                        "Salon de 1859 III", in Martin Turnell, "Baudelaire: A Study of His Poetry"
