Web site Image Problems
I am so confounded with how my images look on my website! They sometimes look too light or simplistic. If you see something you like, please email me and I will send a quality jpg to show you the rich color, tone and texture. AAGGG!!!
Of course, the best option is to see them in person!

My painting Sunlit Grotto was just hung in the new Jimmy Pattison Outpatient Center is Surrey, BC.
I am thrilled!
Many thanks to all the kind people who "like" the art and who made comments on my Facebook Wall. Big Hug to you all!

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR ORIGINAL ART
Hello folks. All of my artwork is "archival". The oil paintings will last at least 100 years. (Wouldn't it be nice if we all lived that long!)
Placing Your Art
Never place your art in areas where there is direct sunlight, heat sources close by or in high moisture areas. Sunlight will damage the pigments (colors) and may increase breakdown of the substrate. Moisture will cause mold or fungus and could permanently damage the painting and substrate.
Cleaning and Hanging Your Art
Works on paper should be framed with acid free mats and placed in modestly lit areas with ample ventilation. For larger works on paper (over 16" x 20" framed size), I recommend using Plexiglas or Lucite as they are lighter and much safer than glass. However, Plexiglas scratches easily. There may be other options so talk to your framer for ideas.
Works on canvas can be cleaned or dusted with a very soft cloth and absolutely NO cleaning agents ever! They may dissolve the paint off the surface. If your art really needs proper cleaning, you can seek out an art restoration company who will clean the work safely. My oil paintings on canvas have clean finished edges. You may choose to frame them or not, depending on how the art looks on your chosen wall.
If you have any questions, please call me. Enjoy your artwork!
Thanks, Marion
