Painting Narrative:
This painting was inspired by a night at the Opera Here, heroine of the painting is surprised at what she finds at top of the stairs and yet she continues. The painting fell off the easel not long after it’s started, so the slight splintering of the stretcher bar was incorporated into the painting - you can see it in the hole at the top of the Castle steps (to dispose of body parts?) in the bottom right of the canvas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Custom and personalized orders
Giclee Prints are listed at 12"X12" but other sizes are available including 16"X16" and 24"X24"
How long does it take if I commission an original oil painting?
Original Oil Paintings can take 3-4 months to complete due the technical nature of laying the thin layers of paint, and the spatial complexities. You'll get weekly progress updates of your painting while it's being developed.
Where can I buy frames for the unframed Giclee Prints?
I'm working on a short video with suggestions for Frames. I just purchased 18" square frames from West Elm that worked out nicely. I'm ordering some custom mats to use with the frames.
One thing to keep in mind when choosing frames is that the print image is 12"X12" but the paper is larger, usually around 13" Square.
Frame sizes are generally the outside dimensions of the frame, not the inside dimensions that hold the paper.
Generally, for a classic 2" border (matted or floating), you want a frame that is at least 17" Square.
In the decor shot in the About section, the nickel frame with the gray backing is 17.5" square, and the black gallery frame is 18" square.
