(Note: This applies to non-commissioned paintings only. If you are interested in a commissioned painting, please see our Commissions page.)
Our pricing process is simple. We charge by the square inch of the size of a painting. We charge $1.25 per square inch. If you purchase a painting with a basic black floater frame, the additional cost of the frame will be $1.25 for each linear inch of the perimeter of the painting.
For example, a 24 x 30 inch painting has an area of 720 square inches, and the perimeter is 108 inches.
If you purchase the painting unframed, it would cost 720 x $1.25= $900.00 (not including tax, shipping and insurance)
If you purchase the painting framed, it would cost the $900 above, plus 108 linear inches x 1.25= $135.00 for the frame, for a total of $1035.00 (not including tax, shipping, and insurance)
Prices are subject to change based on the cost of framing and materials. The above prices are for 2024 only.
Shipping costs depend on the size of the item being shipped, insurance, and sometimes weight can be a factor. Our paintings are lightweight but frames can be heavy and make the package bigger.
Because of the additional cost of insuring a framed painting, we recommend having it shipped unframed, and you can have the piece framed locally. We can also recommend some online frame shops that we use frequently. Paintings are finished with the sides of the canvas painted in a solid color, usually black or a dark color. Thicker canvases can be hung without a frame if that is your preference. All paintings come with basic hanging hardware and wire already installed.
