Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How can I see your paintings?

This web site has very high quality images of my original paintings.  The colour reproduction in these images is accurate. There is also a description including size, and you can click on the painting to see a larger image to zoom in.  However, if you would like to see the actual painting, you can contact me and arrange to visit my studio.  I am near Brockville, Ontario (75 km east of Kingston; 100 km south of Ottawa.)  If this is not convenient, I can provide additional photos or FaceTime streaming of the actual painting.  Contact me and we can work something out.


Can you ship paintings?

Yes, I arrange shipping anywhere.  I have shipped paintings to Calgary, Muskoka, Toronto, New York, Texas, Australia, England and other places.  I package my paintings carefully and use reliable shipping companies.  There is an extra charge for shipping.  It is usually around $150 for my largest paintings, and much less for smaller ones.  Contact me for details.


Are your paintings framed?

No, unless otherwise indicated my paintings are not framed.  However, I do finish the sides of the stretched canvases to make them suitable for displaying without frames.  This is usually how I display my paintings in my own home.  Of course you can choose to frame a painting to suit your tastes.  I would be happy to have a painting framed for you.


What hardware do I need to hang paintings? 

I include the appropriate brackets on the back of each large painting.  If you are hanging a painting on drywall, usually 2 drywall screws will suffice.  Paintings hung on plaster walls will require installing 2 plugs and screws.

For smaller paintings, a picture hanging kit is included.


How do I care for my oil paintings?

Simply dust your paintings a couple of times a year.  Use a new, soft painter’s brush or lint free cloth.  Never use a feather duster.  Never spray your paintings with water or cleaner.  With proper care your original oil paintings will remain in good shape and become treasured family heirlooms.
