Question 10

What should I expect when purchasing original artwork or prints to fit my home decor.

Accepted Answer

Color and texture are the biggest misunderstood factors between the virtual world of seeing the artwork on computer screens (and phones) versus the reality holding of the actual piece in your hand. There may be a huge variant in the manner of its photograph, with lighting, and add that to the brilliance (or lack of) of your computer screen. 
 
What you see online is not always what you get ... depends on the screen which you are viewing the artwork.

Question 11

What if the artwork is not what I expected?

Accepted Answer

Lisa Bisbee is a painter, not a manufacturer. If you even question that it may or may not be exactly the right color to match your decor, or have exactly the right texture, or have too many imperfections, then my artwork might not be for you.
 
Even so, if you are not satisfied with your purchase, you have the option to return it with my approval according to my return policy with a credit for exchange. Exempt are custom orders or commissions.

Question 12

Why are there so many imperfections in your artwork?

Accepted Answer

'Beauty in the eye of the beholder' has a literal meaning - that the perception of beauty is subjective - what one person finds beautiful another may not. Each one of my piece are beautiful in my eyes. The texture proves the principle of originality. Random spots show purity of the creative process.
 
I would hope that you see the beauty, and understand if you do not. If you have any doubts that you might not appreciate the little imperfections, then my artwork might not be for you.

Question 13

To Frame or Not To Frame, that is the question.

Accepted Answer

To Frame or Not to Frame Original Artwork.
• My oil paintings are gallery wrapped which means that the piece of artwork is painted around the sides of the stretched wooden canvas, so you can hang the artwork without a frame. I’s your choice to choose or not to choose a frame for my artwork.

DIY Standard Frame:  
• If you do prefer to frame my artwork, it makes sense for you to choose the style of frame that would work best in your decor within your budget. The reason most of my stretched-canvas paintings are standard sized, is so that you can frame it inexpensively with a standard size frame.  Standard size frames can be more affordable than custom frames.  The original painting is a standard size which means that you can purchase ready-made frames to Do-It-Yourself (DIY). My favorite frames are floating frames and Plein Air frames. You can purchase standard-sized frames online or in-store at any of the following:
