FAQ's
1. HOW DO I COLLECT AN ORIGINAL?
See the 'available paintings' page to see where to collect, who to contact, etc.
2. CAN I COMMISSION A PAINTING?
Occasionally, yes! I am selective on what commissions I accept based on two main points:
1. If the concept is something already in line with my style (ex. western landscape, big bend piece, western figure, portraits, etc.) and 2. you have a high quality/high resolution photos, it would be a project I'd be excited to take on.
3. PRINT QUALITY & DETAILS:
All reproductions in my shop are Giclee reproductions and are printed in an American company based in Pennsylvania. Both use a fancy printer that uses a wide range of inks applied so finely you cannot see the dpi a bit, are acid-free and very long-lasting. Paper prints are all inspected and signed by me, are there is a 1inch white border left around the image for signing and framing. Canvas prints are drop-shipped straight to you!
4. FRAMING:
I highly encourage framing all your prints and originals. Not only do they look incredibly beautiful framed, but it will help to protect your fresh artwork from wear and dust. I do not currently offer framing from my studio, but I do have a few recommendations!

6. HOW IS MY ARTWORK GOING TO BE SHIPPED?
-
All prints are handled with the utmost care; rolled up in paper, inserted into a plastic sleeve which is then inserted into a heavy duty tube. Whew!

7. DO YOU SHOW LOCALLY? CAN I VISIT YOUR STUDIO?
Although I would loveee to see all of your beautiful faces - I work from home so I only take visitors who are inspecting originals for purchase, and that is by appointment. Message me to set one up!
If you are in the Big Bend area and would like to purchase a souvenir, check out the French Grocer Co. in Marathon! They are a great stop on the way to the National park. Load up on goodies and purchase some KBpaint postcards and prints while you're there!
8. RETURNS:
Every order, commission, and sale is handled with care and as much clarity and transparency as possible. My goal is for you to be completely thrilled with your purchase! Because of this, all sales are final except in certain situations. Please email me if there is any damage in transit and make sure to take photos as you unpack the scuffed up print or painting. We can submit a claim and have another print out your way in no time! Win/win! Yay!
Please take the time to read descriptions carefully and the check colors on multiple screens if you are concerned about color variations. I try my best to represent the colors and tones in my work honestly and clearly.
10. STOCKISTS & GALLERIES:
I offer discounts on prints and originals, and would love to meet you. Email me and lets talk!
11. INTERIOR DESIGNERS:
I love working with designers because I love it when my artwork lives in a fine looking room! I offer designers a discount on Giclee prints. Please email me so we can set up a specific coupon code for you to use frequently. I do not offer discounts on original paintings nor do I allow my work to be marked up without consent.
12. PRESS:
I love working with bloggers, editors, stylists, and writers! There are many images on my site that you are free to use for your article. Please credit both me & my photographer, which is usually my handsome husband, Scott Del Vecchio. If you have any questions, please email me! I am always open to interviews and love sharing my story with the world!
WHO ACTUALLY OWNS THE PAINTING?
I retain all rights to all artwork I create. This includes the rights to the image of sold & commissioned original paintings. I retain the right to make REPRODUCTIONS OF ANY AND ALL ARTWORK I CREATE UNLESS THE COLLECTOR HAS PURCHASED THE FULL OR PARTIAL RIGHTS TO THE ARTWORK (this is in addition to purchasing the original).
The Collector or buyer may not reproduce the artwork in any way without written permission.
If the artwork ends up being reproduced in a magazine or other media I only ask for credit.
When you purchase an original painting you, the collector, have the right to display the artwork in your home or business (hooray!) but the artwork may not be resold or reproduced without my written permission.
Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing full or partial rights to your painting. Some collectors chose to purchase my right to reproduce the artwork to ensure it will never become a print. I am totally happy to discuss that with you if you would like!
