Notes about Pastel originals.
My recommended way of selling pastel originals is in a mount, without a frame. These can then be packaged securely and sent by post at a reasonable cost. On receipt, the painting would need framing to your own specification.
The majority of my originals are pastel. Pastel consists of dry pigment, and is a delicate medium. It must not be touched with the fingers and so needs careful handling and should never be left unprotected. Whilst ideally I prefer to sell pastel paintings ready framed behind glass to customers who visit the area, framed paintings are even more delicate and therefore difficult to transport. If you are interested in purchasing a framed original, it would be preferable for you to arrange to collect the picture personally, or for someone in the area to take delivery of it. If this is impossible, it can be arranged for a reliable carrier to pick it up and deliver it, but carriage charges (starting at around £13, depending on size of picture) would be additional to the cost of the framed painting.

Greetings cards. Most of the paintings in the galleries are available as printed greetings cards. The picture size is 9cm x 13cm. Please enquire if you would like a card or cards with specific paintings. Please note that whilst many people do frame these cards, they are liable to fade over time.
Cards are normally supplied without greeting, but greetings of your choice can be added at your request. Cards with envelopes cost £2 (pounds sterling) each. Postage extra.
Notelets or Note cards. Most of my pictures can be printed onto notelets or note cards. Notelets have the picture printed onto an A4 sheet of quality paper, which is then folded into 4, so a letter can be written on both sides of the paper if need be. Note cards are A6 folded cards with the picture printed on the front, just like a greetings card. Both are sold in packs of 5.
If you would like a pack of notelets or note cards with 5 different pictures, please let me know your choice of pictures. If you want all 5 to have the same picture on, please state that clearly. A pack of notelets or note cards is £2.50, and includes 5 envelopes. postage is extra.
