Paypal is the only payment option.

SHIPPING
Total packing and insured shipping anywhere in the continental USA is $21 for all 8x10 or smaller paintings (Australia add $11 please). Larger than 8x10 please add $6. Artworks are shipped, guaranteed (by me and by PAYPAL!), from Veracruz, Mexico, via the Mexican Postal Service in conjunction with the United States Postal Authorities. Travel times have been averaging about 3 weeks - but can exceed four weeks or more- two day delivery is available via Federal Express if you're in a hurry- ask for a price quotation for two day service.
PASTELS
There are several shipping options for pastel paintings.
There is no additional cost for standard shipping for pastels - they are shipped in an acid free Clear Bag™ You can frame them yourself, however you may wish to a have a Michael's type store mat and frame them for you.
**RECOMMENDED: If you wish to frame them yourself you may want to consider having me send the painting mounted "Passé Partout"- this is the French method of mounting- it requires the glazing (plexiglass), artwork, and backing board to be sealed together. This produces an artwork-vacuum sandwich. Included are the glare-free UV Plexi glass covering, on top of art, with an acid free backing board, sealed with PH neutral framer's tape..
This method allows a "plug and play" way for you to enjoy your painting.. simply drop it in any frame...I HIGHLY recommend it! Degas Pastels can still be seen in the Louve! But they are fragile and need special handling. Please consider letting me mount your pastel for you so you can be confident your heirs will enjoy them too.
Total material and labor costs for Passé Partout mounting adds $41 per painting to the shipping cost.

Cup of Love
In 2021 I started the Taza de Amor (Cup of Love) program.
Every Friday I shop the greengrocers and butchers- Saturdays I cook-early Sunday I bake fresh bread. And then every Sunday noon I deliver a hearty meal to the poor, ill or elderly in our tiny mountain village in Veracruz, Mexico. Cup of Love has provided hearty, healthy meals every single Sunday since 2021.
I fund the program. Generous souls have helped with the purchase of foodstuffs through PayPal ([email protected])
100% of donations buy fresh foods for the needy. If you'd like to share the love, please consider a small donation! I can feed TWO people for less than a cup of coffee! Thank you.
