FAQ
Buying, shipping & commissionsHow do I buy an original painting?
Each available painting on the home page has a Buy button with its price on it. The button takes you to that painting's own page in my store, where you can check out. There are no prices hidden behind inquiries — what is on the button is the price.
Are prints available? Are they signed?
Yes. Signed 8×10 prints are available for select paintings, at $30 — including prints of originals that have already sold. Every print is signed by hand. Prints ship in rigid mailers.
Is the painting framed?
Paintings that have been displayed in a gallery are framed and wired, ready to hang. Paintings that have not been on display are sold unframed. Every listing says which it is. If you purchase an unframed painting, I recommend taking it to a local framer to have it professionally framed.
Do you ship? Can I pick up instead?
Shipping is offered for paintings. Each one is wrapped, padded, boxed, and insured, and ships via USPS or UPS, whichever suits the painting. Prints ship in rigid mailers. Pickup is also an option, dependent on an agreed time and place — email me at dcanthonyart@gmail.com to arrange it.
Can I return a painting?
Sales of original paintings are final. Each painting is one of one, photographed and described as it is — if you would like more photos or details before buying, I am happy to send them.
What if my painting arrives damaged?
Contact me right away, and take extensive photos of the damaged box and the artwork. Those photos are needed so a claim can be filed with the carrier (USPS or UPS), which reviews and decides the claim. Please keep the box and all packing materials until the claim is settled.
A painting I love is marked Sold. Can I still get something like it?
Possibly — through a commission, below. A sold original itself is gone to its collector, but prints may still be available, and I am open to painting a new work in conversation with the one you missed.
Do you take commissions?
I am open to commissions, based on a set criteria. It starts with a conversation about the concept, and I will sketch a few ideas based on what we come up with. Once we agree on something, the painting will be done in my specific style, which we will discuss. A deposit is required before I start the actual painting. Commissions can take upwards of two months unless stated otherwise. Email me at dcanthonyart@gmail.com to start the conversation.
Where can I see the paintings in person?
At exhibitions — I am a member of the Chester County Art Association in West Chester, PA, and show there and at regional shows. Current and upcoming shows are listed on this site and on my Instagram, @dcanthonyart.
