Oil paintings on stretched canvas are gallery wrapped, are created with a full portrait and background, are painted on all sides, and wired for immediate hanging. Oil paintings take several weeks to dry for proper shipment, and need to "breathe" in their new home. Pieces may be hung with our without framing, although no glass should be used, to allow proper air flow.

Oil paintings on wood panel use the natural beauty of the wood grain as the background for the portrait and wired for immediate hanging. Oil paintings take several weeks to dry for proper shipment, and need to "breathe" in their new home. Pieces may be hung with our without framing, although no glass should be used, to allow proper air flow.
