OIL PASTEL COMMISSIONS No Linoleum Block Comissions, Sorry It's simply not Practical (or economical for you) While Mary will not simply repeat a previously issued image, but she will and often has taken the elements of an original piece of art and reordered them to produce an equally pleasing image with a very similar artistic "feel". She will also reorder the palette to meet the color needs of your setting, provided you describe those colors with Bainbridge Alphamat color numbers or send swatches.
This too, can be yours!!! Or something awfully close to it!
	or this!
or this!
Images maybe ordered in any dimension, on paper or on canvas, and with color requests from Alphamat color numbers (framers have these).  It should be noted here, however, that the vitality and poignancy of finished art is in the heart, mind, and hands of the artist rather than the dreamy hopes of the viewer. It is the nature of the beast. Mary is more than willing to produce her art to some level of requested specification;  she is unwilling to produce someone else's art to any specification whatever.
The pages to the right have many archive images on them, images that Mary has issued over the years. Click on the page numbers, they are each different.  Make notes. There are way too many images to provide navigation bars to them all. You may also click on the individual images to make them larger and clearer.	Archive Page #1

  IF AND WHEN YOU HAVE CHOSEN AN IMAGE, DO THESE STEPS:

• Record the image title and archive page number
• Decide whether you want the work on paper or canvas - inspite of what is often thought there actually is no difference archivally or value-wise. The paper should go under glass the canvas not, which in some homes makes the paper "more protected and less maintenance-associated (dust, humidity, ultraviolet bleaching, scratching, etc.) than canvas. Further the framing will probably be significantly different given the choice. The canvas should have a liner and a frame. It'll be less expensive (not to say cheap). The paper, what with matting, fillets, and various grades of glass, will cost more, but will also provide far greater options in terms of presentation.
• Decide what size you want the finished product with the frame to be, length and width, vertical or horizontal.   Mary's standard sizes are:
              22" X 30"             $1100
              24" X 36"             $1400
              30" X 40"             $1950
  It is convenient to use these sizes if they work for you, but not necessary. It should be noted that sizes smaller than 22" X 30" will not be priced lower.
• Decide what the 3 or 4 primary colors in the piece should be to match your parfticular setting and gather either color swatches of these colors or using your local framer as a resource discover what the Alphamat color numbers are.
