You have LOTS of choices! Lindy's Tips on Selecting a Medium For Your Print

• consider duplicating the original surface. Most of Lindy's original art is done on smooth surfaces, making smooth fine art paper always appropriate. Watercolors star on textured on watercolor paper. Consider textured canvas for oil paintings. The default medium shown will be that closest to what the original is on. Paper is the least expensive option. 
• will glare affect viewing? Go with canvas or metal. Our canvas and metal prints have matte finishes; prints on acrylic will be glossy, and art on paper should always be covered with some type of glazing (glass or acrylic) for protection, which will reflect light. (Our framing automatically includes fine art acrylic glazing for prints on paper.) Museum glass is non-reflective, and that's a great, if pricey option, but unfortunately, not one we offer here. If you're going to use museum glass or colored mats, order Just the Print then let your framer do the rest.
• what's you decorating style? Classic dictates canvas or matted fine art paper. Canvas with mirrored edges (the painting continues around the edges) doesn't need a frame, though it will happily accept one. Contemporary decor will relish the sleek look and vibrant colors of an unframed print on metal or acrylic. Rustic can handle a rich wood panel, though you will definitely lose the vibrancy and color pop of other media. Our wall preview tools can help you decide what works for your space.
• Outdoor installations, spa areas?  Think metal or acrylic. (RV's and cabanas love being adorned with bolt-to-the-wall acrylic prints)
• fit your budget as well as your wall As you build your custom print, you'll be able to see how each option affects the cost. The price of the smallest size in that art's default medium will display first. Go back and forth all you want. Paper is the least expensive option, but must be framed; our gallery-wrapped canvas has finished edges all around and can be hung unframed if desired; metal and acrylic and wood are all stand-alone wall art, already wired or bolted for hanging.
• mats and frames add significantly to the wall footprint of your print You can see framed outer dimensions on the wall preview, regardless of whether you choose to have us do the framing. A small print matted and framed can easily double in size on your wall.
• Our wall preview feature will show you what the art will look like hanging, actual size. You can even preview it on your own wall! Play around with these choices all you want. If you get lost, email Lindy for advice or help.
• Choosing is half the fun: But opening your box, then hanging your custom printed artwork initiates the joy surrounding yourself with art you love can bring into your life.

Your art will ship directly from our North Carolina printing house. Great things take time. Because every fine art print is considered a custom order, please allow about 5 to 10 business days production time, plus up to a week for free ground shipping. Add-on expedited shipping options are available at checkout. There's is no way to speed up production time, though.If your artwork is a gift, email Lindy and request she mail the recipient a handwritten fine art card explaining the art is being created and shipped. We print your chosen artwork on the front of the card. (People love these and we love sending them!)

Mats are only offered in soft white. If you want a double mat or colors, select the Just the Print option. Your framer can help you customize it.

  Lindy is always waiting inside this gallery of fine art prints, ready to help you select and customize art. Go ahead and request her help! Don't be shy about asking!

WHAT IS AN OPEN EDITION?

Open Editions have no second artist signature or numbering added to the margin. Lindy's original signature will already be on the art being reproduced. While there is, by definition no limit to the number of prints that can be made from a painting image, Lindy's prints are reproduced only as custom orders.

Looking for something truly one-of-a-kind, yet more affordable than an original?  Consider an Enhanced Print instead of an Open Edition.

What's the difference between an Enhanced Print and an Open Edition Print?

• Enhanced Prints are the more expensive of the two types, but only available on smooth fine art paper in a handful of standard sizes
• Open Editions are offered in several surfaces (media) and sizes, allowing you a wider price range with customized choices
• Open Editions are the same format (shape) as the original art
• Enhanced Prints are cropped to fit a handful of standard proportions and come in only a few sizes
• Enhanced Prints are presented in off-white conservation mats to fit readymade frames; we don't frame them for you
• Open Editions can be ordered matted and framed, matted only, or as Just the Print;. Some media don't need mats or frames at all
• Enhanced Prints are meticulously hand-repainted on top of the print ,making each a unique artwork with Lindy's signature added
• Open Edition Prints are professionally reproduced from the original art without further attention from the artist
• Enhanced Prints ship directly from Lindy ;they are faster to arrive because they're printed in the studio, so we can hurry it up for you
• Open Editions are printed and ship directly from the printing house in North Carolina
