I was hesitant
I was hesitant about purchasing a painting online from someone I didn't know. However, I like my watercolor painting and am pleased that I made my reservations!! The procedure was simple, and I was allowed to make modifications along the way... now I have a unique souvenir of something very close to my heart!! This was a fantastic experience that I will definitely repeat!

How to preserve your memorial portrait?
It's important to take care of a memorial portrait properly to preserve and maintain its integrity and significance. Firstly, place the portrait in a location that avoids direct sunlight, as UV lights can fade the colors over time. Oil paintings, although resilient, can lose vibrancy in reds, blues, and greens within 20-50 years. Watercolors are especially prone to rapid fading. acrylics, while more lightfast, can still see deterioration in reds and blues.
The environment where you hang your portrait should be stable, with controlled humidity and temperature to prevent damage to the canvas and paint.
Memorial paintings should be dusted gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using chemical cleaners or damp cloths, as they can harm the painting’s surface. If the portrait is framed, regularly check the frame for any signs of wear.
