Not sure what photo to use? The best photos will have adequate lighting, but feel free to send me several photos if you aren't sure, and I can help you choose the best one to use. The better quality the picture the more accurate the painting will be.

All paintings are wrapped in archival quality glassine paper to protect the painted surface from any dust or debris before it is wrapped in bubble wrap to protect it from any damage during shipping. A personalized thank you note, and a certificate of authenticity printed and signed by me, the artist, will be included along with your order.

F.A.Q.

How long will it take for custom orders to be made?

The time it takes to complete a custom order depends on several factors such as the complexity of the order, drying time, and current project load. For a more accurate estimation, you can fill out the custom project request form here or send an e-mail to marygrace@emjidi.com.

Why does it take so long for custom oil paintings?

Oil paintings can take anywhere from a few weeks to up to a year to fully cure. The outer layers will be the first to cure to a state which we refer to as "touch dry". At this time, it can be handled without paint lifting off of the substrate, but areas with thicker layers of paint will still feel soft under that outer most layer. It will continue to cure over time, and a temporary varnish can be applied during this time and shipped.
