    Artwork and Paintings

    Original Paintings and Artwork

    $20.00 (per linear inch)

    Linear inch pricing adds the height and width. Then the sum is multiplied against a set rate. [h + w × r = price]. I prefer to measure by linear inch.

    This is because there is less of a difference between a small and a large piece. All artwork is unframed.
