Q: Are these real oil paintings?
A: Yes. All of our more than 700 oils and acrylics are hand-painted by real humans. They are not machine made or digitally printed on canvas like giclees.
Q: Who are your artists?
A: They are professional, highly experienced painters. They are from the Charleston area, other Southeast US towns, US national, and international locales. And local artists are sincerely welcomed to speak with us regarding their work and our gallery.
Q: How can you afford to sell your paintings and frames at these prices?
A: The answer is volume sales and minimal mark-up. Our prices average 50-70% below retail. In addition, we have further discounts and specials.
Q: Will you frame art that I buy elsewhere?
A: Yes. We will frame most standard US size canvases while you wait. We also offer custom-sized frames and we can stretch a painting you have that's currently on loose canvas. Our frames will save you substantial money and time.
Q: What other products do you sell?
A: We have a nice selection of real bronze & marble sculptures (e.g., egrets, herons, crabs, bill fish, porpoise), mirrors, and gift items.
Q: May I take art out on approval?
A: Yes. You may try our art for 2 days and return it at no cost.
