Digital theft of images is a real problem. We display a watermark logo and text on the images to keep anyone from downloading the images of paintings and using them to illegally create teeshirts or to make copies and print. They are only an online watermark though and the actual paintings on canvas, prints, teeshirts, crochet items and other items for sale do not bear the watermark image.

We offer prints on two different papers. One is archival mat finish, and one is on watercolor paper.
