How to Buy My Artwork

Some of these are for sale, you'll see prices; others I'll accept email bids and either accept the bid or post it here as "best offer". A few of these are gone already (NFS, not for sale), I just wanted to display them for everyone to see, including those I won’t sell while alive – you can get those when I’m dead for nothing if you can find me!

When I Say "Box Framed"

Box frame: a 'shadow-box', a half-inch gap of space between the masonite painting and the lattice edging (really there just for protection), so they look like they're floating in a box, not touching the frame. I find real frames on paintings to be distracting and try to hide the framing as much as possible and make it look like a small thin line, just like the borders on these digital images. I paint on tempered masonite board (for its smooth glassy surface), not canvas, which has a distracting and rough texture. Da Vinci painted on wood also, usually heavy oak; the Mona Lisa weighs 80 lbs unframed.
