Medium, Size & Ground

Medium: Until 2004, I used several medium including Colored Pencil, India Ink, Acrylic, Watercolor, Chalk and Oil Pastel. In the spring of 2004, I began using Oils and only use other medium on special request. Pricing is based on Oil as the medium of choice. If you prefer a different medium, please contact me to discuss your project and pricing.

Size & Ground: The following links will open in new windows. You will be able to view available sizes and the product I use. Pricing for the ground/support is built-in.

Gallerywrap Canvas: I paint the edges, sometimes continue the painting around to the sides. Always wired & shipped ready to hang. At nearly 1″ in depth, the traditional profile does not require framing. For a deeper canvas and a small additional charge, you can choose 1-1/2″ depth. For larger pieces and an even more dramatic statement, 2-3/8″ depth is available (additional charge will apply).

Canvas Panel: These slip easily into standard frame sizes. As a sidenote, Oil paintings should not be framed directly behind glass. I recommend double-matting panels and framing behind UV glass.

Canvas Panel Board: These can be hung and/or displayed on tabletops. A little more expensive, there may be an additional charge for this support depending on the size of your portrait.
