Valid Certificate of Appraisal

Being a retired Fine Art Restoration Artist and Fine Art Appraiser
On too many occasions I experienced clients that did not have their art insured.
It is very easy to build a private collection when you love art.
Insurance will not pay art claims without proof of value.
Protect your art collection and have it insured.

With your Title Certificate you will receive Direct Contact Information for me so you may access all of your Confidential Art Documentation in case of loss or damage. You will be supplied with copies of all your Original Title Certificates along with an Updated Appraisal to present to your Insurance Company. You may email me once a year for an updated appraisal. Two copies of your Appraisal will be included with your paintings. One will be mounted on the back of your painting and another for you to keep in a safe place in case of loss or damage.

The certificate will reflect your name, all pertinent information, current appraisal value and signed by the artist. Transfer of the Title does not transfer the copyright.

Custom Linen Canvas Hardwood Panels

The Old Masters of the 14th & 15th centuries such as Michelangelo, Picasso and van Gogh used wood panels primed with a chalk like material for their work as there was no canvas.
The Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1503-06 survives today and is painted on wood and in almost perfect condition and with little cracking.

We make all of our Custom Hardwood Panels in our Studio Wood Shop.
The panels are constructed with the best hardwoods, mahogany and maple.
They then receive several coats of the finest archival gesso and sanded in between
coats for a beautiful painting surface.

I only use the best archival materials, paints and brushes for all of my work.
The paintings are sealed with five coats of clear, non yellowing varnish
that maybe easily removed in the future if restoration may be needed.

Although they are quite time consuming to construct, I have chosen to use Custom Made, Gallery Wrapped, Linen Canvas, Hardwood Panels of Mahogany and Maple Woods, for all of my paintings and have never experienced any damage.

You will never have to worry about dents in the canvas, sagging or
tearing which is very convenient for storing or moving.
My Custom Canvas Panels with last a lifetime plus.

Custom Floater Frames

Although I do paint the sides of my paintings for those who prefer "not" to frame, I thought it would be nice to offer a beautiful, simple frame for those that do prefer to frame their paintings.

Many of my paintings include floater frames but may still be purchased without if you prefer. If you see available paintings that are not framed, upon request we will make a frame for you.
My frames are custom made from beautiful hard woods and finished with furniture quality materials.
All frames are fitted perfectly for each panel.

We generally use black finishes frames but you may have any color or finish that you wish.

These frames are custom made for my paintings only and not for sale to other venues.
Frames are only sold with paintings. Please contact me for information.

Joining My Collectors List

I am blessed to have built a wonderful collectors list over the years.
I am forever grateful for all of the ongoing support I receive from my collectors
and their continued loyality in following my work, not to mention all the heartfelt
comments and emails.

Therefore, I sell many paintings and some very quickly.
Once you purchase a painting you join my collectors list.
You will receive an email notice of my newest paintings as they
come right off the easel. My collectors have first chance of
purchasing my paintings over those who are not collectors.
Collectors receive other additional benefits.

Similar Paintings to Sold Paintings

If you may be interested in any paintings that have already been sold
Please contact me to discuss doing a similar painting in any size
you wish. Many times sold paintings may give you an idea
for a painting as well.

Why Many Artists Do Not List Prices

I have been asked many times why I do not list my prices. There are many reasons.

If an artist sells paintings in galleries, the gallery prices will warrant double what the artists may sell
them for on their websites. Artists that list prices lower on their sites may upset their Galleries as they know that artists sell at lower prices. This may result in loss of contact with the gallery.

Another reason may be if the paintings do not sell in the galleries, the artists will pull them out and at that time may list them for sale on their sites. This can result in a great deal of additional work to the artists already busy schedule, just in changing prices when there may be many paintings and websites involved to update.

The artist may also have collectors that collect frequently or commission many paintings that may have a different pricing structure. This is why I do not list my prices among other reasons.

Because prices are not listed does not mean that the paintings may be unaffordable. In fact, you may find a painting that you like that has not sold that the artist will be happy to find a home for, so you may get yet even a better deal on this painting.

Many artists paint beautiful paintings that you would think are very expensive but you may be surprised how affordable they really are.

I know it is hard if a collector asks for a price and then decides they can not manage it which results in them feel embarrassed to the artists. I have heard this many times.

Please do not feel this way. My paintings are very affordable and I never take offense if the client decides not to purchase. Just having the contact and maybe adding you to my collectors list will
be a pleasure. You may find something down the road from one of my sales or maybe a nice framed print or product that will make you happy. Please don't hesitate.
If you don't ask, you won't know!
 

Best wishes,

Madison
