Original artwork description:

***International shipping please contact me by Artfinder prior to purchase so I can check on shipping cost. With canvas paintings of this size shipping is high no matter what. Shipping will roughly be $85.00 to $95.00 for this size of canvas. I do not roll my canvases due to the layering process I create. All the main shipping carriers charge roughly the same International price. I do not like using 3rd party carriers for several reasons...one being it can take longer through Customs for delivery. I use UPS for International shipping. I will do my best to give the best shipping charge since you will be having an additional charge with Customs/duty/taxes. But, in this case with this small painting it will be difficult to give a good discount I am guest-a-mating there will be an additional 20% charge from Customs.

***U.S.A. shipping $10.00 dollars vie UPS Ground.

(Unframed) Textured Abstract Acrylic Painting. Use of Gallery Wrapped Cotton Canvas 10 x 10 x 1.5. (8 Layers) I like building my canvases with layers of paint as I have with this small canvas. There is a richness by layering and many of the paintings I paint-I use this process. I use palette knives to blend the color patterns. The 2 top layers have Gold, Copper, Black, White, Silver, and Ochre in this painting. I have 4 layers of primer paint and then I created 2 layers of Ochre & Black and then I added my 2 top layers with the many splashes of colors. There are 2 Vertical hangings on the backside and 2 Horizontal hangings on the backside. Felt pads on 4 corners to protect the wall. Golden Professional Archival Gloss Varnish Spray has been applied to protect the painting. Certificate of Authenticity included 1/1.

Lighting will be important for this painting or any other painting to bring out the brilliance of the colors. Overhead lighting/Spot Lighting/and/Indirect Lighting from a window are the best forms of lighting. If you do not have the proper lighting-this painting or any painting can look dull. Also, be aware of Wall/Paint colors with paintings. Some darker wall colors can make a painting look dull or not interesting. So, be aware when you purchase a painting and the placing of the painting. Always play around with lighting and wall colors for paintings. This is actually a good small Table Painting to display on an Easel.

Note: I base my pricing on amount of Labor, Art Supplies used, Amount of paint used, and Artfinder's % which is reasonable and good since they are promoting my artwork.

Materials used:

Professional Arcylics applied with Palette Knives. Painted on Gallery Wrapped Cotton Canvas. Coated with Golden Professional Gloss Varnish.
